Ingredients

  • 270g black beans
  • 270g bulgur wheat
  • 80g aubergine
  • 80g courgette
  • 20g harissa paste
  • 10g lemon juice
  • 50g greek yoghurt
  • 10g olive oil
  • 30g pomegranate seeds
  • fresh mint

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the aubergine and courgette, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    Warm the black beans in a pan with a splash of water and the seasoning, lightly crushing a few to thicken.

  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 aubergine and courgette for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

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

  7. 7

    Bulking upgrade: add the olive oil, pomegranate seeds for extra energy-dense calories.
