Method
1. Place a good-sized saucepan over medium heat. Add a splash of olive oil. Sizzle the garlic till soft. Add the bulgar wheat and a pinch of salt. Toast for a moment. Pour in the water. Cover. Simmer for 15 mins, or till all the water is absorbed and the bulgar wheat is fluffy.
2. Turn the heat off. Pile the red onions on top. Cover so the onions steam as the bulgar wheat fluffs up. After 5-10 mins, uncover. Drizzle a bit of oil over. Let it cool. You can cook this the day before to make this dish even faster.
3. Pile the tomatoes, cucumber and olives on top. Drizzle on a bit of oil and vinegar. Crumble the feta over. Gently fold through. Finish with herbs. Season to taste.
