Ingredients
- 28 g ground lamb
- 21.5 g bulgur wheat
- 29.8 g grape tomatoes
- 19.8 g red onion
- 9.8 g cucumber
- 1 tbsp za'atar spice blend
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 0.125 tsp salt
Method
- 01Place the dry bulgur in a heatproof bowl, pour over 1/2 cup of boiling water, cover, and let stand for 15 minutes until tender. Drain any remaining excess liquid thoroughly.
- 02Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground lamb and brown for 5 to 6 minutes, breaking it into small bits, until deeply caramelized and an instant-read thermometer reaches 160°F (71°C). Drain excess fat if needed.
- 03Add the minced red onion and minced garlic to the lamb in the skillet, sautéing for 2 minutes until fragrant and softened.
- 04Fold in the drained bulgur, 2/3 of the za'atar spice blend, and salt. Sauté for 1 to 2 minutes to toast the spices and allow the flavors to bloom.
- 05Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the diced grape tomatoes and cucumber.
- 06Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with the remaining za'atar spice blend, and drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving.
