Tabbouleh-inspired bread with whipped feta spread.

Savoury tabbouleh quick bread with whipped feta

Soaked for just a few minutes, bulgur wheat lends its characteristic nutty and chewy texture to this savoury quick bread. The addition of a good amount of chopped parsley, lemon juice and olive oil to brighten the flavours gave me the idea that this was a kind of tabbouleh in loaf form. Together with the whipped feta spread and a simple salad of sliced tomatoes, torn mint leaves, olive oil and salt and pepper served alongside, it makes a lovely light lunch.
