Cooking Instructions:

1. TO COOK THE BULGUR:
Once the water is boiling, add the bulgur wheat and cook for 7-8 mins or until tender. Drain well into a sieve and set aside.
2. TO PREPARE THE VEGETABLES:
Using half the red onion, peel and finely slice and set aside. Using half the orange, peel and cut into segments then add to a salad bowl with the mizuna. Just before serving, add the bulgur and pour in the fig dressing. Season with salt and pepper then toss to combine.
3. TO COOK THE ONIONS AND LAMB:
Spray a non-stick frying pan with oil and place over a medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and cook for 3-4 mins, stirring occasionally to create a char. Remove from the pan and cover to keep warm. Respray the pan with oil and place the pan back over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the Provencal lamb steak and cook for 2-3 mins each side for medium rare – a little longer for well done. Remove from the pan and allow to rest a few mins before slicing.
TO SERVE:
Spoon the fig-dressed bulgur onto a plate and top with Provencal lamb and caramelised onions. Dollop with whipped feta and sprinkle over the fig and thyme almonds. Serve with a grind of freshly cracked black pepper.
