Method
step 1
Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat and fry the onion and squash with a pinch of salt for 5-7 mins until beginning to soften. Mix in the spices, bulgur, tomatoes and stock. Season well and bring to a simmer, then bubble for 7-9 mins until tender, adding a splash of water if needed.
step 2
In a second pan, stir together the harissa, ragu and a generous splash of water, then bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 7-9 mins until piping hot.
step 3
Serve the tomato bulgur with the harissa beef and top with a scattering of mint and pine nuts. Add lemon wedges and yogurt on the side, if you like.
