A very hearty but yet healthy vegetable dish. Bulgur balls soak up the sauce and give this dish a lovely bite.
Serves 4
You will need:
Lamb Brand Medium Bulgur Wheat 164g
Lamb Brand Plain Flour 128g
Lamb Brand Table Salt, to taste
Lamb Brand Ground Black Pepper, to taste
Lamb Brand Paprika, pinch

4. Add the courgettes, saute carefully for 3 minutes and then stir in the tomatoes. Cover with a lid and put it on a low heat.

6. Once the bulgur is softer and cooler add the plain flour.
7. Season with salt and pepper.
8. Combine and knead it till it forms a consistent dough.
