Instructions

  1. Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450°F. Wash and dry produce. Dice sweet potato into ½-inch pieces. Halve, peel and cut onion into ½-inch-thick wedges; mince a few wedges until you have 2 tablespoons (4 tablespoons for 4 servings). Trim and discard root end from lettuce; separate leaves. Roughly chop half the dill (all for 4).
  2. Toss sweet potato and onion on a baking sheet with half the garlic powder, ¾ teaspoon harissa powder (1½ teaspoons for 4 servings), a drizzle of olive oil, a big pinch of salt and pepper. (Add more harissa if you like heat.) Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a small pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced onion and a big pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add bulgur, stock concentrate and 1 cup water (2 cups for 4 servings). Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until water is absorbed and bulgur is tender, 12-15 minutes. Turn off heat; uncover and let cool.
  4. While bulgur cooks, in a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, jam, mustard, remaining garlic powder, 2 teaspoons vinegar (4 teaspoons for 4 servings), a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. Once bulgur has cooled slightly, stir in sunflower seeds and half the feta. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Fill lettuce leaves with bulgur mixture and roasted veggies. Drizzle aioli over veggies. Sprinkle with as much dill and remaining feta as you like and serve.

Recipe Tips

For extra heat, add more harissa powder to the roasted vegetables.

To keep lettuce cups crisp, pat them dry before filling.

If you prefer a vegetarian version, simply omit the ground beef.
