No more the diet of tree-hugging vegans, grains are tasty, versatile and nutritious. And a little goes a long way, making them ideal staples in these credit-crunch times. See the pick of the crop of our bulgur wheat, couscous, farro, quinoa and wild rice recipes.
Bulgur wheat
There's a wonderful flavour of North Africa with this lamb dish.
The harissa dressing adds spice to this nutritious vegetarian salad with haloumi, bulgur wheat, chickpeas and spinach.
This superfood salad is a great way to start the week; double-up and take leftovers to work for lunch.
Add bags of flavour to plain chicken breasts in a flash. This harissa chicken is served with a healthy, light side salad.
Couscous
Don't feel like cooking? You don't have to; simply assemble this no-cook recipe.
If you can’t get hold of lamb neck fillets, this recipe would also work well with chicken thigh fillets or pork tenderloin, cut into cubes. An easy, quick supper.
Bring the taste of North Africa to your table with this seasonal mackerel recipe.
This spicy recipe is made with cannellini beans and makes a great burger alternative for vegetarians.
Farro
This is a perfect salad for early autumn. If farro proves hard to find, you can swap in cracked wheat (aka bulgur), and you can use button mushrooms or something wild like ceps, once the season kicks in.
Farro is an ancient wheat grain that has a firm, chewy texture. It’s delicious in soups, stews and slow-cooked dishes. Make this dish veggie by omitting the pancetta and using vegetarian Parmesan.
Quinoa
Quinoa (pronounced keen-wa) is a tiny round grain from South America. This low-cal dish is bursting with healthy fats.
This dish is a simple and inventive way of serving a healthy, but filling salad.
This is comfort food at its best – a roast with sweet fruit tucked around it. You could use other fruits such as figs or plums, and bulgur wheat or brown rice instead of quinoa.
Wild rice
A deliciously different veggie side dish: the rice provides carbohydrates, the pumpkin seeds are an excellent source of zinc, while the raisins add a touch of sweetness.
Caribbean spices make a delicious change from the kind usually eaten in Europe, and this jerk pork recipe shows the cuisine at its best.
Wild rice and red rice are great in salads and stuffings as they have a delicious nutty flavour and texture. Serve the extra stuffing as a side dish.
