Vegetable bulgur is a healthy and nutritious side dish that is a favorite for health-conscious meals. Bulgur originates from Turkish cuisine and has since spread to many parts of the world. When mixed with vegetables, bulgur is especially delicious, as the fresh taste of the vegetables and the slightly nutty, earthy aroma of the bulgur complement each other perfectly. Among the vegetables, bell peppers, tomatoes, zucchini and onions are particularly suitable, but the recipe can easily be varied with seasonal ingredients.
Vegetable bulgur is an easy-to-prepare dish that quickly and easily offers a healthy alternative to traditional side dishes. In addition, as bulgur is rich in fiber, protein and minerals, it provides a nutritious meal while not being heavy on the stomach.
Bring the water to a boil, add the bulgur and salt, and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until tender. Drain well.
Heat the olive oil in a pan and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
Add the thinly sliced zucchini, bell pepper, and carrot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly softened.
Combine the cooked bulgur with the vegetables, season with black pepper. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
