Step 4

Cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters and the grapes in half.

Finely chop the parsley, using the leaf and the stalk.

Check the bulgar wheat, if all the water has been absorbed and the grain is firm but without crunch add the tomatoes, grapes, parsley and beans. Stir well to combine and add pepper to taste. (If the grain is still hard, add more boiling water, cover and wait for another 5 minutes).
