Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1

Heat a large, dry, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a high heat

Once hot, add your mince and a generous pinch of salt and cook for 5 min or until beginning to brown, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as you go

Step 1
2

Meanwhile, boil a kettle

Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Slice your cherry tomatoes in half

Step 2
3

Add your bulgur wheat to a pot with plenty of boiled water and a pinch of salt (the same as you would for pasta)

Bring to the boil over a high heat and cook for 7-9 min or until tender with a slight bite

Once cooked, drain and return to the pot

Step 3
4

Meanwhile, add the halved cherry tomatoes to the browned mince, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 3 min or until they're starting to soften and break down

Step 4
5

Meanwhile, combine half the chopped garlic (you'll use the rest later!) with your natural yoghurt, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper

Tip: Use less garlic if you're not a fan of raw garlic

Mix well and set aside until serving – this is your garlic yoghurt

Step 5
6

Combine your harissa paste (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) with 2 tbsp [3 tbsp] [4 tbsp] boiled water, a pinch of sugar and salt and the remaining chopped garlic – this is your harissa mixture

Add the harissa mixture to the pan and cook for a further 3 min or until most of the liquid has evaporated and the mince is cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your Turkish-style harissa mince & tomatoes

Step 6
7

Chop your dill finely, including the stalks

Stir half your ground sumac and half the chopped dill (save the rest for garnish!) into the drained bulgur

Add a drizzle of olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper – this is your herbed bulgur

Step 7
8

Serve the garlic yoghurt over the herbed bulgur and top with the Turkish-style harissa mince & tomatoes

Sprinkle with the remaining chopped dill and reserved ground sumac, and a drizzle of olive oil

Enjoy!
