Turkish Grains with Pomegranate, Feta & Pistachio
With a hint of Eastern Mediterranean flavour, this delicious and quick salad is great on its own (use a vegan Greek-style cheese for a delicious vegan salad) or as a tasty side dish to grilled/barbecued lamb or chicken. For a change try swapping the feta for grilled halloumi.
Method
Cook the grains according to the packet instructions. Fluff with a fork and allow to cool.
Meanwhile toast the pistachios in a dry pan over a medium heat. Keep an eye on them because they can easily burn. Tip on to a board and roughly chop.
Toss the herbs, pomegranate seeds and half the pistachio through the grains and fold through the feta. Serve scattered with the remaining pistachios and drizzle over a little pomegranate molasses (if using).
