Harissa Chicken With Bulgur Wheat
Bulgur is easy to cook and a great alternative to refined grains. It’s high in fibre and nutrient-rich, so good for your gut, digestion and heart health. Serve it with stews, or use it in salads or as a nutritious alternative to rice. This recipe is a favourite with my kids!

Step 1
Chop the pepper and the green beans, slice the garlic. Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat. Fry the garlic for 2-3 mins until golden, being careful not to burn it. Add the chicken and brown it for a few minutes. Stir in the harissa and tomato purée.
Step 2
Add the chopped pepper and cook, stirring well, for a few minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the drained bulgur wheat, a pinch of salt and 300ml boiling water. Bring to a simmer, put the lid on the pan and cook for 5 mins.
Step 4
Lift the lid and lay the green beans on top, cover again, and cook for 5 mins. Remove from the heat and leave covered for another 5 mins.
Step 5
Uncover, squeeze over the lemon juice and mix well. Garnish with the coriander and pomegranate seeds.
