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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the drained bulgur, mix well for 2 minutes so it soaks up the sauce, and serve hot.
