Steps
-
Bring a medium pot of salted water to the boil.
-
Begin chilli. Heat oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook onion and carrot with a pinch of salt for 3-4 minutes, until softening. Add chilli spice, garlic and chilli (if using) and cook a further 30 seconds, until fragrant.
-
Cook super grains & prep courgette. While onion and carrot soften, add super grains to pot of boiling water and cook for about 17 minutes. After 17 minutes, add peas and cook a further 2-3 minutes, until grains are tender. Drain, return to pot and add courgette. Stir and season then set aside covered.
-
Finish chilli. Add turkey to fry-pan and cook for about 3 minutes, breaking meat up as it cooks. Add stock, water, lentils, canned tomatoes, tomato paste and salt. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lentils and turkey are cooked. Fold through capsicums and season.
-
Prep garnishes.
-
To serve, spoon super grains into bowls. Top with chilli, squeeze over lime, sprinkle over dukkah and coriander. Drizzle over chipotle crema.
