Cooking Steps

Make the Bulgur
1
  • Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
  • When oil is hot, fry half the onion until softened, 4-5 mins.
  • Add 240ml water (double for 4p) and muscat to the pot. Bring to the boil.
  • Add the bulgur, bring back to the boil then simmer for 1 min. Cover and remove from heat. Leave aside for 12-15 mins (or until ready to serve).
Soften the Onion
2
  • Place a (separate) large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • When the oil is hot, add the remaining onion.
  • Cook until softened, 4-5 mins. 
  • Season with salt and pepper.
Get Prepped
3
  • Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Trim the courgette, then quarter lengthways. Slice widthways into 1cm thick pieces.
  • Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
  • Pop half into a bowl and roughly mash with the back of a fork.
  • Once the onion has softened, add the garlic, Middle Eastern spice and chickpeas (whole and mashed). Cook until fragrant, 1 min.
Simmer the Stew
4
  • Pour 100ml water (double for 4p) into the chickpeas along with the passata.
  • Stir in chilli flakes (use less if you don't like spice), ½ tsp sugar and ¼ tsp salt (double both for 4p).
  • Cover and cook until thickened, 8-10 mins.
Cook the Prawns
5
  • When 5 mins of cooking time remain, stir in the prawns and courgette.
  • Cover again and simmer until prawns are cooked through, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. Prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.
  • Stir a knob of butter and harissa paste through the stew.
  • Loosen with a splash of water if you feel it's too thick.
  • Season with salt, pepper and sugar.
Finish and Serve
6
  • When everything is ready, fluff up the bulgur with a fork. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Share the bulgur between bowls and top with the harissa prawn stew.
  • Finish the stew with a drizzle of honey.
