BEGIN THE BULGUR
Boil the kettle. Place the bulgur wheat in a pot with 200ml [400ml]|#7DA0D7 of boiling water, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Simmer until cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Drain if necessary, fluff with a fork, and set aside.
ALWAYS BETTER WITH BACON
Place a pan (with a lid) over medium-high heat. When hot, add the bacon strips and fry until browned and crispy, 3-5 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel. Roughly chop and set aside.
TASTY Tomato SAUCE
Return the pan to medium heat, reserving any oil from the bacon. When hot, fry the Onion until caramelised, 6-8 minutes (shifting occasionally). Reduce the heat and add the Garlic and tomato base. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly).
BEAN THERE, MADE THAT
To the pan, add the Tomato and fry until softened, squishing it with the back of a spatula to create a sauce. Add the butter beans, 5ml [10ml]|#7DA0D7 of a sweetener, 100ml [200ml]|#7DA0D7 of water and some seasoning. Place a lid on and allow it to simmer for 4-5 minutes, shifting occasionally. Remove from the heat and mix in ¾ the coriander and the sour cream.
WELL DONE!
Bowl up the bulgur wheat, topped with the harissa beans, scattering over the remaining coriander and the crispy bacon. Simple as that, Chef.
