fusion meal… I made Mix Bean Bulgur Jerk Chicken with tzatiki sauce.
Bulgur is a staple diet of Turkey, Tzatiki sauce from Greece and Jerk Chicken is seriously delicious creation from Jamaica… But they gel so well with each other…
Coolness of Tzatziki goes so well with the fiery jerk chicken and Bulgur gives the dish nice base.
