Cooking Instructions and Tips

Cook the Bulgur
1

a) Boil a half-full kettle. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

b) Melt the butter (see pantry for amount) in a medium saucepan on medium-high heat. Once melted, add half the garlic and cook, 30 secs.

c) Stir in the bulgur wheat until coated, then pour in the chicken stock paste and boiled water for the bulgur (see pantry).

d) Bring back to the boil and simmer for 1 min. Put a lid on the pan and remove from the heat. Leave to the side for 12-15 mins or until ready to serve.

Prep Time
2

a) Meanwhile, trim the courgette, then quarter lengthways. Chop widthways into 1cm pieces.

b) Zest and cut the lemon into wedges.

c) In a small bowl, combine the Greek style yoghurt and lemon zest. Set aside.

Fry the Beef
3

a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

b) Once hot, add the beef mince and courgette. Fry until the mince has browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break up the mince as it cooks.

c) When the mince has browned, drain and discard any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Add the Flavour
4

a) Squeeze the juice from half the lemon into the beef and cook until evaporated, 30 secs.

b) Stir in the tomato puree and remaining garlic. Cook until fragrant, 1 min.

c) Add the red wine stock paste, harissa paste (add less if you'd prefer things milder), sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts).

d) Stir to combine, then bring to the boil and simmer, 2-3 mins.

Finishing Touches
5

a) Once thickened, taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick. 

b) Fluff up the bulgur with a fork.

Serve Up
6

a) Share the bulgur between your bowls.

b) Top with the harissa beef.

c) Finish with a dollop of zesty yoghurt.

Enjoy!
