  1. STEP 1

    STEP 1

    Let's prepare the ingredients. You can take absolutely any set of vegetables for this dish, depending on your taste preferences and availability. However, you need to take vegetables that require approximately the same amount of heat treatment time to be ready. You can use fresh or frozen vegetables.

  2. STEP 2

    STEP 2

    Let's prepare the vegetables. To make the dish more healthy and less caloric, we will not add vegetables fried in vegetable oil; all the vegetables in it will be stewed. You can supplement the set of vegetables with frozen peas, beans and corn grains; they will not only improve the taste of the dish, but also make it brighter and more colorful, which is not unimportant when serving the dish.

  3. STEP 3

    STEP 3

    Peel the onions, cut them into cubes. Wash the carrots, peel and cut into cubes or grate on a medium grater. Pass the garlic through a press.

  4. STEP 4

    STEP 4

    It is better to take young zucchini. Wash it well, remove the skin, if it is young, then the core with seeds does not need to be removed. Cut the zucchini into small cubes. Wash the pumpkin, clean it, and remove the seeds. We also cut the pumpkin pulp into small cubes.

  5. STEP 5

    STEP 5

    We take hard tomatoes so that they do not immediately turn into porridge during stewing, and it is better to add them to the dish last, after stewing the remaining vegetables for some time. If they have hard skin, it is better to remove it by pouring boiling water over the tomatoes.

  6. STEP 6

    STEP 6

    Place the vegetables in a pan, put it on the fire, add a little water to the pan and simmer for about 15 minutes from the moment the broth boils.

  7. STEP 7

    STEP 7

    It is believed that it is not necessary to wash bulgur, but it is still better to rinse it to remove dust and excess gluten.

  8. STEP 8

    STEP 8

    Add bulgur to the pan, salt and pepper to taste and fill with water so that it covers the contents of the pan. Simmer the vegetables and cereal for about 20 minutes, during which time the liquid should evaporate. Turn off the fire. Mix the bulgur with vegetables and cover the pan with a lid. Let the dish sit covered for about 15 minutes. Serve to the table. Bon appetit!

You don’t need anything else for this porridge! But if you still can’t live without meat, add chicken, as in this recipe.

I made bulgur with vegetables today. I usually make bulgur with fried onions and carrots in a slow cooker, but today I decided to try it on the stove. For vegetables, I took eggplant, zucchini, red peppers, onions, carrots, and frozen green peas. I made it according to the recipe, only I added more water than indicated and a little vegetable oil. It turned out to be a very tasty, aromatic, healthy porridge with vegetables for dinner! Thank you very much to the author for the recipe. Here is my photo report)))
