Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Instructions
Bring a pot of water to the boil (amount specified in the ingredient list) and grate a little of the lemon zest. Pour the bulgur wheat into the boiling water and add your lemon zest and a pinch of salt. Place a lid on the pot and rest off the heat for 25 mins, or until the water has completely soaked into your wheat.
Peel and finely chop the onion and roughly chop the parsley. Cut the tomato in half, squeeze out and discard the liquid centre and roughly chop the remaining flesh.
Mix the yoghurt with a dash of lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Once your bulgur wheat is ready, add a splash of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, your onion, tomato, two-thirds of your parsley and mix together. This is your tabbouleh.
Slice the halloumi widthways into ½cm slices.
Coat your halloumi with the harissa spice mix. Heat a frying pan on mediumhigh heat with a splash of olive oil. Once hot, add your halloumi and cook until just golden on each side. Tip: Don’t overcook the halloumi, it’s much better when it’s golden but slightly squidgy!
Serve your halloumi with your tabbouleh and sprinkle the pomegranate seeds over the top with your remaining parsley. Drizzle with your yoghurt dressing and fill your boots!
