Smoky Pork Strips & Bulgur Bowl With Roasted Garlic Aioli

Deseed your pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and chop into bite-sized pieces

Peel and slice your red onion[s] into thin wedges

Add your pork strips to a bowl with a pinch of salt and half your ground smoked paprika (you'll use the rest later!) – these are your coated strips

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil

Once hot, add the coated strips and cook for 9 min or until browned and tender and the pork is cooked through (no pink meat!)

Whilst the pork is cooking, heat a pot with a lid with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat

Once hot, add the chopped pepper and onion wedges with a very generous pinch of salt and cook for an initial 2-3 min or until starting to brown

Once starting to brown, add your tomato paste to the pot with the remaining ground smoked paprika and half your roasted garlic paste (you'll use the rest later!)

Cook for 30 secs or until fragrant

Once fragrant, remove from the heat and add your bulgur wheat and chicken stock mix

Give everything a good mix up until the grains are completely coated

Add 225ml [300ml] [450ml] cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 10-12 min or until all the water has absorbed and the bulgur wheat has cooked – this is your tomatoey bulgur

Combine your mayo with the remaining roasted garlic paste, 2 tsp [3 tsp] [4 tsp] cold water and a pinch of pepper – this is your roasted garlic aioli
