Palestinian Grape and Grapefruit Maftoul Salad came about because I wanted to create something unusual and exotic. As I clamoured around my pantry I discovered I had some Maftoul hidden away for a day when I was feeling adventurous. Maftoul is a traditional Palestinian product that is sun-dried and made from bulgur weeks. The grains are larger and rounder than couscous and are a substitute for couscous, rice and bulgur.
Ingredients
  • 250g maftoul
  • 500ml filtered water
  • 1spring onion
  • bunch of parsley
  • 1 grapefruit
  • 100g grapes
  • 1tbs caraway seeds
  • 1tbs red wine vinegar
  • 1tbs maple syrup
  • ½ lime, juice
  • 50ml extra virgin olive oil

  1. Place the maftout in a bowl in a steamer and cover with the filtered water. Steam for about 25 minute until the water is absorbed.
