Instructions
1 Heat oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add onion and gently fry for 3-4 minutes. Pour in cumin seeds and stir around the pan to release the flavour. Add cashew nuts and fry for 2 minutes until starting to brown. Pour in bulgar wheat, ground coriander and chilli flakes and stir for 2-3 minutes until bulgar starts to toast.
2 Reduce heat, pour in stock and simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, making sure bulgar doesn't stick.
3 Once all stock is absorbed and bulgar is soft and fluffy, remove pan from heat and stir in spinach. Season to taste. Add feta and lightly combine. Serve with a dollop of plain yoghurt.
Variations
Turn it into lunch: Slice open 2 mini wholemeal pita bread pockets and spread each with 1 tablespoon hummus. Add 1/2 cup leftover pilau to each with a few slices of cucumber.
