Tabbouleh
55 gm (¼ cup) coarse cracked wheat (burghul)

Preparation

1. Preheat a char-grill over medium-high heat. Cut along both sides of chicken backbone with kitchen scissors, then remove and discard bone. Open out chicken, pressing to flatten, deeply score flesh through skin, brush with olive oil, then rub with spices and season to taste. Cook chicken, skin-side up, turning once, until just cooked through (10 minutes each side). Keep warm.
