Ingredients

2 echalion shallots, finely sliced
3 tbsp sherry vinegar
125g The Levantine Table Bulgur Wheat
400g pack Waitrose Vitoria Seedless Grapes
½ orange (scrubbed), zest
1 clove/s garlic, crushed
3 tbsp olive oil
½ x 15g pack oregano, leaves picked and chopped
80g pack watercress
1 large fennel bulb, cored and shredded, fronds reserved
25g pack flat leaf parsley, leaves picked
150g Castello Creamy Blue Cheese
50g pecans, toasted and roughly chopped

Method

Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6 . Put the shallots in a small bowl with a pinch of salt and the vinegar; stir, then set aside. Cook the bulgur according to pack instructions; drain, refresh in cold water and leave to drain in a sieve.
Meanwhile, put the grapes on a baking tray, season and roast for 10-15 minutes until beginning to burst. Drain the shallots, reserving the vinegar. Mix the vinegar with the orange zest, garlic, oil and oregano to make a dressing.
Tip the bulgur onto a platter; toss with the watercress, fennel, parsley and grapes. Pour over the dressing, dot with the cheese, then scatter with the pecans, shallots and reserved fennel fronds.
