  1. Sprout and boil the beans for 5 minutes in a little water. Drain with a slotted spoon (keep the cooking water) and, once cooled, reduce them to chunks.

    Emulsify 2-3 tablespoons of oil with the lemon juice, salt, pepper, a pinch of red chili pepper, mint and chives.

    Shell the bulgur with a fork and mix it with the sauce, add the chickpeas and green beans, mix well and let it season in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before bringing it to the table.
