        • Once simmering, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low to cook for 12 minutes. After 12 minutes, remove from heat, quickly sprinkle peas over bulgur and return lid to pan to steam for a further 5 minutes, until peas are tender.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Toss courgette and capsicums in a large bowl with oil and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large griddle pan (or fry-pan) on high heat. Cook courgette and capsicums ( in batches) for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and charred.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
