Tips

Add as much bulgar wheat and broccoli as needed.
Depending on the brand, bulgar wheat doubles in volume when cooked.
If you do not have any carob syrup (it can be found online or in a Greek Food shop) use molasses, treacle or honey instead.
The feta adds a wonderful creaminess to the dish.
For health reasons or if you are serving vegans, you can omit the feta.
