3. This is great with a chunk of sourdough.

**METHOD**

1. Grate or blitz the beetroot with the garlic clove.
2. In a large heavy-based pan, add a slosh of olive oil, then the shallots, beetroot and bulgur wheat. Pour in the white wine and around 400ml stock – enough liquid that it covers the wheat by 2-3cm. Taste and season. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, until cooked, stirring regularly. If you need to add more liquid, pour in a little more stock. Fork through, then turn off the hob. Place a plate over it and set aside.
3. To finish, fork and divide the bulgur onto the plates. Scatter over plenty of fresh herbs and feta cheese. Some poppy seeds would make a delicious final layer.
