Harissa is widely used in Middle Eastern and North African cuisine, containing dried chillies, star anise, cumin and coriander. It pairs perfectly with falafels and bulgur, also Middle Eastern staples, to make this colourful veg-filled bowl.

Cooking Instructions and Tips

Cook the Bulgur
1

Pour the water for the bulgur (see pantry for amount) into a large saucepan, stir in half the veg stock paste and bring to the boil.

Stir in the bulgur, bring back up to the boil and simmer for 1 min.

Pop 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

Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

3

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and fry until softened, 4-5 mins. 

Add the dried oregano, harissa paste and garlic. Stir-fry for 1 min. 

Stir in the passata, the remaining vegetable stock paste, the sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). 

Bring to the boil, then simmer until slightly thickened, 4-5 mins. 

Wilt the Spinach
4

Once your harissa sauce has thickened, add the spinach to the pan a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.

Falafel Time
5

Lower the heat to medium and add the falafels to the sauce, carefullly stirring to coat. Season with salt and pepper.

Simmer gently until cooked through, 5-6 mins.

Add the butter (see pantry for amount) to the sauce. Stir gently until melted. 

Serve Up

Share the bulgur wheat between your bowls, then top with the falafels and harissa sauce.

Drizzle over the yoghurt to finish.
