BULGUR WHEAT
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil the kettle. Using a shallow bowl, submerge the bulgur wheat in 100ml of boiling water. Add a drizzle of oil and gently stir through with a fork. Cover with a plate and set aside to steam for 15-20 minutes until cooked and tender. Fluff up with the fork on completion, replace the plate, and set aside.
REDS & GREENS
Boil the kettle. Place the halved baby tomatoes in a bowl with the balsamic vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil, and some seasoning. Toss to coat and set aside to marinate. Submerge the peas in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until plump. Drain on completion and set aside to cool.
BOBOTIE TOPPING
Place 50ml of milk in a mixing bowl and whisk in the turmeric powder. Crack in 1 egg and whisk until combined. Season and set aside.
GET READY TO BAKE
Place a nonstick pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the chopped carrot and diced onion for 3-4 minutes until the onion is softened, shifting regularly. Add in the mince and break it up as it starts to cook. Allow to caramelise for 4-5 minutes until browned, stirring occasionally. In the final minute, add the Indian rub to taste, the sultanas, and ½ of the chutney. Stir until combined and season to taste. Evenly spread out in an ovenproof dish and pour over the egg topping. Bake in the hot oven for 15-20 minutes until the topping is set and golden.
VIBRANT FINISHINGS
When the bulgur is cooked, drain if necessary and return to the pot. Stir through ¾ of the chopped coriander and seasoning. Replace the lid and set aside. Just before serving, toss the peas and cucumber half-moons through the marinated tomatoes.
