Method

Step 1
Start by making the pickles. Add all of the pickle ingredients to a small saucepan, except for the red onion and radishes, and place on a low to medium heat, bringing to a boil. Remove from the heat and leave to for 10 minutes.
-
Step 2
Insert the slicing disc into the food processor bowl and lock the lid. Select LOW then carefully place the red onion and radish into the feed chute and use the part pusher to push down. Repeat until all onion and radish is sliced. Place into a jar or tupperware container and pour over the cooled vinegar mixture. Seal and place in the refrigerator until needed.

Step 3
Add your your bulgar wheat to a medium sized bowl then pour over the hot vegetable stock. Stir together with a fork then cover with cling film or a larger plate turned upside down. Leave for 15 minutes, or until all stock has been absorbed, before fluffing up with a fork.

Step 4
In a large salad bowl add the cooked bulgar wheat and remaining ingredients for the sald then toss together. Add in 4 to 6 tablespoons of drained pickles then toss again and serve.
