chicken stock 200ml, boiling
lean chicken or turkey mince 250g
harissa 1 tbsp
red onion 1 small, ½ grated and ½ thinly sliced
olive oil
mint a large handful, chopped

Method

Step 1

Put the bulgar in a bowl, pour over the boiling stock then cover with clingfilm and leave for 15 minutes.
Step 2

Meanwhile, mix the mince, harissa and grated onion in a bowl with some seasoning. Roll into small, walnut-sized balls. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Fry the meatballs for around 15 minutes, turning until golden all over and cooked through.
Step 3

Drain the bulgar and mix with the sliced onion, mint and parsley, a drizzle more olive oil and plenty of seasoning. Serve the meatballs on the bulgar, drizzled with any pan juices and a spoonful of natural yogurt.
