  1. BULGUR WHEAT

    Boil the kettle. Place the bulgur wheat in a bowl with 100ml of boiling water. Stir through a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Cover and set aside until rehydrated, 15-20 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

  2. PREP STEP

    Dice ½ the tomato. Roughly chop the dried apricots. Rinse, pick, and chop the parsley. Rinse and thinly slice the spring onion.

  3. SUNFLOWER SEEDS

    Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  4. BROWNED LAMB

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the lamb dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the lamb until browned, 3-4 minutes per side. In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter (optional) and the NOMU rub. Remove from the pan, reserving any pan juices. Season and rest for 5 minutes.

  5. TASTY TABBOULEH

    In a salad bowl, combine the lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener, and seasoning. Toss through the cooked bulgur, the diced tomato, the chopped parsley, ¾ of the sliced spring onion (to taste), the chopped dried apricots, and the toasted sunflower seeds.

  6. MOROCCAN MEAL

    Plate up the herby tabbouleh. Top with the seared lamb leg chop and drizzle over any pan juices. Sprinkle over the remaining spring onion. Dig in, Chef!
