Ingredients

  • 1 L (4 cups) low sodium vegetable broth
  • 4 carrots, cut into sticks
  • 500 ml (2 cups) cooked bulgur wheat (or 1 cup raw)
  • 15 ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil
  • Half an onion, chopped
  • One red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 GUSTA vegetarian sausages (we used the one with smoked paprika)
  • 500 ml (2 cups) fresh spinach, chopped

Sauce

  • 125 ml (½ cup) tahini (sesame butter)
  • 80 ml (⅓ cup) carrot cooking water
  • Juice of half a lemon (or 30 mL / 2 tbsp.)
  • 15 ml (1 tbsp) sodium-reduced soy sauce
  • 5 ml (1 tsp) sumac

Garnish (optional)

  • Fresh mint, chopped
  • Walnuts, toasted

Preparation

  1. In a large saucepan, bring vegetable broth to a boil and add carrots, cut lengthwise and widthwise.
  2. Simmer for 15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a skillet heated over medium high heat, sauté onions in oil for 3 minutes.
  4. Add peppers and sausages (cut in half lengthwise and widthwise) and continue cooking, turning sausages occasionally.
  5. Once the sausages are grilled, add the spinach and continue cooking for about 5 minutes or until the spinach is softened, then transfer to a bowl.
  6. Once the carrots are cooked, remove to water, making sure to keep the cooking water. You can save the cooking water for a soup. Grill the carrots on both sides in the still hot pan. Add a little oil if necessary. 
  7. In a small bowl, combine all sauce ingredients.
  8. In a bowl or plate, divide the cooked bulgur wheat, vegetable and sausage mixture and carrots. Add sauce and garnish if desired.
