Ingredients

• • 1 cup Fine bulgur
• • 1 piece Carrot (cut into small cubes)
• • 1 piece Zucchini (cut into small cubes)
• • 1 piece Tomato (peeled and grated)
• • 1 piece Onion (small, finely chopped)
• • 2 tablespoon Olive oil
• • 2 cup Hot water
• • 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (finely chopped)

Directions

1. 1

   Heat the olive oil in a wide pot over medium heat and sauté the finely chopped onion for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent.

2. 2

   Add the carrot and zucchini cubes and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.

3. 3

   Add the grated tomato and cook for 2 minutes until the liquid reduces a little.

4. 4

   Add the fine bulgur and stir for 1 minute so the grains are coated in the olive oil.

5. 5

   Pour in the hot water, cover and cook over low heat for 12-15 minutes until the bulgur absorbs the water and becomes very tender.

6. 6

   Take off the heat, cover the pot with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 5 minutes so the bulgur softens fully.

7. 7

   Before serving, make sure it is lukewarm and check that the vegetables are very soft and in small bites (leave no large or hard pieces, to avoid choking). Garnish with finely chopped parsley and serve.
