Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the meatballs on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 12-15 mins until piping hot and cooked through.

  2. Meanwhile, cook the bulgur wheat to pack instructions. Drain and rinse briefly under cold water to cool slightly. The bulgur wheat should be warm but not hot. Place into a large mixing bowl.

  3. Add the meat-free meatballs, olives, sundried tomatoes, artichokes (if using), cucumber, sweetcorn, dill and mix to combine. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard and some seasoning. Pour over the bulgur wheat salad and toss well to combine.

  4. Divide between 4 shallow bowls and garnish with extra dill and freshly ground black pepper.
