Ingredients

Feta50 g
Cooked bulgur wheat160 g
Cooked weight.
Aubergine120 g
Half a medium one. Aubergine soaks up oil, so the oil is tossed through rather than poured on.
Red pepper100 g
Red onion50 g
Olive oil8 g
Lemon juiceJuice of half a lemon
Fresh parsleyA handful, chopped
Fresh mintA few leaves, torn
Chilli flakesA pinch

Method

Cut the aubergine into 3 cm chunks, the pepper into strips and the onion into wedges. Toss with the oil, salt and chilli flakes and spread out on a tray.
Roast at 220°C for thirty minutes, turning once, until the aubergine has collapsed and the pepper edges are black.
Tip the vegetables and any juices from the tray over the bulgur with the lemon and herbs, and crumble the feta over while it is still warm enough to soften it.

Worth knowing

The protein is on the low side at 15 g, which is what happens when the only protein in a bowl is 50 g of cheese. Chickpeas folded through, 150 g drained, take it to a proper lunch for about 170 kcal more.
Keeps for two days and is arguably better on the second, once the bulgur has taken up the roasting juices. Add the feta when you eat it.
