step 1
Put the bulgur in a small saucepan and cover with 300ml water. Bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 5 mins or until tender. Drain.

Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan over a high heat until very hot. Cook the sprouts until char lines appear, then set aside.

Make the dressing by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl with 1 tbsp water and a little seasoning.

In a large bowl, combine the bulgur with the brussels sprouts, beetroot, onion, tomatoes, parsley and some seasoning. Divide between bowls and drizzle with the dressing, serving extra on the side.
