What's for lunch?

It's a pain to try to think of simple work lunches, but on the other hand, it annoys me to spend a lot of money on buying lunches. Usually bought lunches end up being unhealthy crap, because by the time I go to the shop, I'm starving and craving salt, fat and sugar. I often buy a couscous salad from one of the Turkish bakeries: €1,50 for a small plastic box of spiced couscous, tomato and scallions – not too bad. Recently I realised that I can make it myself, make it healthier and make it cheaper! So here goes, my favourite lunch de jour:

Turkish style lunch salad (makes 2-3 lunch servings)
200 ml organic bulgur, coarse
300 ml water
3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 lemon
3 tbsp tomato paste
2 organic tomatoes, finely chopped
1/3 organic cucumber, finely chopped
Scallions (spring onions), finely chopped
Flat leaf parsley
Salt, pepper
(Optional: 50g cubed feta cheese)
(Optional: 1/2 red chili pepper, finely chopped)

Bring the water to a boil. Rinse the bulgur until the water doesn't turn cloudy anymore, then boil for 10 minutes – you shouldn't need to drain the bulgur, the water should have all been soaked up or evaporated. Add olive oil, tomato paste, lemon juice, salt and pepper in to the pot, mix well and let the bulgur cool off. Chop your vegetables and when the bulgur has reached around room temperature, mix everything else in with the bulgur. Divide the salad in lunch boxes and refrigerate.
