This aromatic bulgur with apricots and almonds is a delightful vegan side dish that brings a touch of Middle Eastern flair to your dinner table. The nuttiness of the toasted almonds perfectly complements the subtle sweetness of the dried fruit, creating a complex flavour profile that works beautifully with roasted vegetables or grilled proteins. The use of medium bulgur ensures a satisfying, fluffy texture that absorbs the savoury notes of the softened onions and fresh herbs.

Quick to prepare and naturally nutritious, this versatile grain dish is an excellent alternative to rice or couscous. Heart-healthy olive oil and fibre-rich bulgur make this a wholesome choice for a midweek meal, while the vibrant green parsley adds a fresh finish. Serve it warm as a comforting accompaniment or enjoy it chilled as a sophisticated salad for a healthy lunch.
