Instructions

  1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Place the bulgur in a medium bowl. Add enough boiling water to cover and let soak until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and return the bulgur to the bowl.

  2. Heat oven to 425 ºF. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Add the beef, scallions, garlic, cumin, turmeric and 1/4 tsp salt to the bulgur and mix to combine.

  3. Form mixture into 24 1/2 in.-thick patties and place on the prepared sheet. Brush with the oil and roast until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, chop 1/4 cup mint. In a small bowl, mix together the chopped mint and yogurt.

  5. Fill the pita halved with the cabbage, bell pepper, and remaining mint. Add the patties and top with the yogurt sauce.

Why this Beef and Bulgur Falafel works for PCOS

Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this Beef and Bulgur Falafel that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
