Mediterranean Quorn sausage dish!

As you may know by now I love to cook with bulgur wheat, and bought lots of fresh, organic vegetables on Friday so I wanted to use them all, I also hadn't had Quorn for quite a while, so I thought I'd try out a Mediterranean-style bulgur wheat and sausage dish. If you're not familiar with bulgur wheat you can click here to see my post about it and how to prepare it. You can also click here to view my post about Quorn sausages. I made a double portion here and put the rest in the refrigerator for lunch the following day.

Cooking and preparation time: 20 minutes

You will need: (2 servings)

• A medium sized pepper (I used yellow for some colour)!
• 6 cherry tomatoes or 2 large tomatoes
• 5 medium mushrooms
• Half of a medium sized onion
• 60g bulgur wheat
• Light butter

Steps:

1. Measure out 320ml of water and boil in the kettle.
2. Slice the onion, mushroom and pepper into small squares as seen above and slice the tomatoes into halves or quarters.
3. Weigh out 60g of bulgur wheat and place into a saucepan. The water should have boiled now, so add all 320ml to the saucepan and put on a medium heat on the hob, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon. Continue to do this until all of the water has been completely absorbed, which should take around 14 minutes, and then take off of the heat.
4. Take a saucepan and place on a medium-high heat on the hob. Add a knob of light butter (you may also need a glug of oil if the pan becomes very dry). Once the butter has melted, take 3 frozen Quorn sausages and add to the pan. Set a timer for 14 minutes. After about 8 minutes, you may wish to use a knife to cut the sausages in half as this will help them to cook through and it will be easier to tell if they are done.
5. Continue to stir the bulgur wheat and Quorn sausages. After around 10 minutes, you should take another frying pan, add a knob of butter and place on a high heat on the hob. Once the butter has melted, add your sliced ingredients into the pan and stir continuously. On a high heat, the ingredients should only take around 4-5 minutes to become softer and golden. After this time, all of your food should be cooked, so remove all pans from the heat.
6. Remove the sausages and carefully, as they are hot, use a fork and knife to slice the sausages into slices. Add the bulgur wheat, sausage slices and vegetable slices into a large bowl or serving dish and mix the ingredients evenly. Place half of the ingredients into a lunch box and cover with kitchen paper to cool before refrigerating, and place the other half on your plate to serve.
7. Season to taste and enjoy!
