Ingredients

  • 8 lean lamb leg steaks visible fat removed, but into chunks
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp dried red chili flakes
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed in garlic press, divided
  • 200 g dried bulgur wheat
  • 400 ml freshly boiled water
  • 15 g chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 15 g chopped fresh mint or dill if you prefer
  • 200 g fat-free Greek yogurt
  • 4 Tbsp white wine vinegar divided
  • 1 Tbsp dried harissa spice mix
  • Low-calorie cooking spray
  • 400 g cherry tomatoes halved
  • 2 large carrots peeled and grated
  • 100 g pomegranate seeds

Instructions

  • Place the lamb in a food processor and pulse into small pieces, a little chunkier than mince.
  • Transfer to a bowl and add lemon juice, chili flakes, cumin, cinnamon, and half the garlic. Stir to combine, cover, and set aside.
  • Place the bulgur wheat in a bowl and cover with freshly boiled water. Add a pinch of salt and leave for 10 minutes. Check for tenderness and drain if required.
  • Fluff up with a fork and when cooled and stir through the chopped parsley and mint, reserving a little of each for garnish.
  • Place the yogurt into a bowl with the lemon zest, 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar, and the remaining garlic and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the other 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar with the harissa spice mix. Set aside.
  • Spray a large frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and place over high heat. Stir-fry the lamb until browned and cooked through. About 8-10 minutes.
  • To serve, divide the bulgar wheat between four bowls and top each with a portion of the cooked lamb.
  • Divide the grated carrot and chopped tomatoes between the bowls and drizzle over the yogurt and harissa dressings.
  • Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and the reserved fresh herbs.
