You will need:

75g Bulgur Wheat & Quinoa
4 Baby Mixed Peppers (Sliced)
6 Fine Beads (chopped and blanched)
1/2 Red or Green Chilli
10 Cherry Tomatoes (5 Fresh 5 Cooked)
(for drying out baby tomatoes to give them a great sweet and intense flavour cut in half, sprinkle over a little salt and place in the oven on 140 degrees for about 35 minutes)
Clove of Garlic
2 tsp Ras el Hanout
Fresh Mint
Fresh Coriander
Fresh Flat Leaf Parsley
3 tbs Zero Fat Yoghurt
