In the time of lockdowns we were cooking some very simple meals, and our routines changed dramatically. We often cooked late in the evening instead of early in the day. We adjusted to a time where the rushed requirements of travelling to and from meetings, offices, and events disappeared.
We, like everyone else, were scouring our cupboards and our challenge was really to reduce the amount of food we normally keep. Because I cook ALL the time we had (have) so much in the pantry, and many ends-of-packets that haven’t been used up.
So on this day it was coarse burghul‘s turn. We cooked this in a simple but special way – with butter and olive oil – then let it steam off the heat for up to 20 mins. It is the way we love to cook it. Note that it needs different handling to the finer burghuls that are available. If you have never explored different styles of burghul, head down to your local Middle Eastern or Afghan grocery.
Anyway, then we mixed the cooked burghul with cooked beetroot and eggplant, and tossed through some gremolata. A worthy dish indeed. A plate of incredible tones of deep pink and purple—lurid colours indeed, but such warming, and super tasty flavours.
