Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
    Trim the butternut squash, halve lengthways, then scoop out the seeds (peel first if you prefer). Cut into 1cm chunks. 
    Pop the butternut onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil and half the harissa paste. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
    When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden and cooked through, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.
  2. Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  3. Heat the oil (see pantry for amount) in a deep saucepan on medium heat. Once hot, add the garlic and stir-fry for 30 secs.
    Stir in the bulgur and cook until coated, 1 min.
    Pour in the water for the bulgur (see pantry for amount), stir in the veg stock paste and bring to the boil. Simmer for 1 min.
    Pop a lid on the pan and remove from the heat. Leave to the side for 12-15 mins or until ready to serve.
  4. Meanwhile, halve the baby plum tomatoes.
    Pick the mint leaves from their stalks and roughly chop (discard the stalks). Zest and halve the lemon (see ingredients for amount).
    Crumble the Greek style salad cheese into small pieces.
  5. Once the bulgur is cooked, fluff it up with a fork.
    Gently stir in the tomatoes, lemon zest, remaining harissa paste (use less if you'd prefer things milder), half the mint and half the Greek style salad cheese.
    Squeeze in some lemon juice, then taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
  6. When everything's ready, share the tabbouleh between your bowls and top with the roasted butternut squash.
    Scatter over the remaining Greek style salad cheese, then top with a dollop of yoghurt.
    Sprinkle with the remaining mint to finish.
    Enjoy!
