BULGUR & DRESSING
Boil the kettle. Place the bulgur wheat in a pot with 200ml 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 to cool. In a small bowl, mix together the yoghurt, the vinegar, a sweetener (to taste) and seasoning. Loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Set aside.
LIPSMACKING LAMB
Place a pan over 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. Remove from the pan, reserving any pan juices. Season and rest for 5 minutes.
LOAD WITH FLAVOUR
In a bowl, mix together the bulgur wheat, the diced cucumber, the chopped mint, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
