  • 150g bulgar wheat
  • 100g baby leaf spinach
  • 150g Greek style yogurt
From your kitchen

  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 300ml boiling water
You'll need
  • Medium pan with a lid
  • Measuring jug
Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Place a medium pan on a medium heat. Add ½ tbsp olive oil and the lamb mince. Stir it well, using your spoon to break up all the lumps, and flatten the lamb out into an even layer in the pan. Fry for 5-6 mins, stirring a few times, till the lamb is browned all over.

  • 2.

    While the lamb fries, peel and finely slice the red onions. Peel and grate or crush the garlic. Fill your kettle and boil it.

  • 3.

    Stir the onions into the lamb. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Fry, stirring often for 5 mins till the onions are browned and softened.

  • 4.

    Stir the garlic into the lamb with 1 tsp mixed spice. Stir in the bulgar wheat. Pour in 300ml boiling water, pop a lid on the pan and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down to low and gently simmer for 4-5 mins till the bulgar has absorbed all the water.

  • 5.

    Fork the baby leaf spinach into the pan, pop the lid back on and leave for 1 min to just wilt it.

  • 6.

    Taste the pilaf and add a pinch of salt or pepper if you think it needs it. Divide the pilaf between 2 warm bowls and serve topped with dollops of the Greek style yogurt.
