Method

1
Preheat the oven 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Add the vegetables and spices to a large roasting tray, then add half the oil and season well with salt and pepper and toss everything together. Spread out and roast for about 35 mins until cooked through and lightly caramelised. Stir through the garlic and thyme for the last 15 mins of the cooking time so that it doesn’t burn.
2
Meanwhile, put the bulgur wheat and stock into a saucepan. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer gently for 10 mins until the stock is absorbed. Remove from the heat and allow to sit for 10 mins. Fluff up with a fork, season with salt and black pepper and set aside to cool slightly.
3
In a large bowl, mix the bulgur wheat with the roasted veg. Stir in the mint, clementine zest and juice and the rest of the oil. Adjust the seasoning, then crumble over the cheese and serve or portion up and chill until lunchtime. Keeps for 3 days in the fridge.
