Ingredients

  • 200g chickpeas
  • 130g bulgur wheat
  • 80g red pepper
  • 80g spinach
  • 20g harissa paste
  • 10g lemon juice
  • 50g greek yoghurt
  • fresh mint

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the peppers and spinach, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Simmer the bulgur wheat for 10-12 minutes until tender, then drain well.

  3. 3

    Pat the chickpeas dry and roast at 200°C for 20 minutes until crisp, tossing halfway.

  4. 4

    Loosen the harissa with lemon juice and brush it over the protein before cooking. Swirl a little extra harissa through the yoghurt to serve.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the peppers and spinach for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: bulgur wheat first, then the veg and chickpea, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the fresh mint.
