Cooking Instructions and Tips

Cook the Bulgur
1

a) Boil a half-full kettle.

b) Once boiled, pour the water for the bulgur (see pantry for amount) into a large saucepan, stir in half the chicken stock paste and bring to the boil.

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

d) 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

a) Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

b) Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.

Fry the Lamb
3

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

b) Once hot, add the lamb mince and the pepper. Cook until browned, 5-6 mins.

c) Use spoon to break the mince up as it cooks, then 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.
