Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 red onions -- peeled with root end intact

4 small fennel bulbs -- trimmed with root end intact

6 tablespoons olive oil

salt and pepper

9 ounces cracked wheat (bulgar wheat)

1 1/4 pints well-flavored vegetable stock

7 ounces cooked peeled chestnuts

3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

 

Preheat oven to 400F. Cut each onion and fennel bulb lengthways into 6-8 pieces.

Place on a baking tray and drizzle with half of the oil. Season with salt and

pepper and turn well to coat the vegetables with the oil.

 

Rinse the cracked wheat and drain well. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a heavy based

flameproof casserole. Add the cracked wheat and stir to coat with the oil. Pour

in the stock and bring to the boil. Lower the heat, cover and simmer gently for

15-20 minutes.

 

Meanwhile, roast the vegetables in the oven for 20 minutes.

 

When the cracked wheat is ready, turn off the heat, remove the lid and cover

with a clean tea towel or muslin.

 

Add the chestnuts to the vegetables, turn to coat with oil and return to the

oven for a further 5 minutes. Fold the vegetables into the cracked wheat with

the remaining 1 tbsp oil and the chopped parsley to serve.
