Ingredients

  • 180 g bulgur
  • 320 g turkey mince
  • 180 g red pepper
  • 200 g courgette
  • 100 g onion
  • 120 g crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp curry powder
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper

Method, step by step

  1. Put the bulgur in a saucepan with twice its volume of water and a pinch of salt, bring to the boil, cover and cook 12 minutes over low heat; remove and let it rest covered for 3 minutes so it stays fluffy.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan and soften the diced onion, pepper and courgette for 5-6 minutes, until they start to soften.
  3. Turn up the heat, add the turkey mince and stir-fry, breaking it up with a spoon, for 4-5 minutes, until it loses its pink colour.
  4. Sprinkle in the curry powder, stir for 30 seconds to release its aroma, add the crushed tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and cook 3-4 minutes until thickened.
  5. Add the drained bulgur, mix well for 2 minutes so it soaks up the sauce, and serve hot.
