INGREDIENTS
¾ cup fine burghul
¾ cup boiling water
sea salt and ground pepper
600 grams frozen broad beans, blanched and peeled

METHOD
Combine the burghul, boiling water and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl, cover and leave until all the water has been absorbed. Fluff up with a fork.

To serve: Add all the salad ingredients plus the burghul to the dressing and toss together. Arrange the cos leaves around the bowl and add the salad. Top with the Quick Pickled Onions. Serves 8.
Quick Pickled Onions
Place the onions in a heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water for about 20 seconds. Drain well and tip back into the bowl. Add the lemon juice and salt to the hot onions and stir together. Leave to cool, stirring occasionally until they’re bright pink. Drain well before using.
