Dishes made from bulgur — processed wheat — are known far beyond the Middle East. They have long been included in the diet of healthy eating enthusiasts and those who are tired of traditional cereals. Bulgur with vegetables (carrots, sweet peppers and cauliflower) is a hearty and healthy vegetarian dish that is easy to prepare for lunch or dinner. Choose fresh ingredients — it will taste better.

Step 1

Place a thick-walled pan on the fire and pour in some oil. Add bulgur and fry for a while, stirring. Then pour hot water over the cereal (there should be twice as much liquid by volume) and cook for about 15 minutes until it is all absorbed.

Step 2

While the cereal is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater, cut the bell pepper into strips and chop the onion (as you prefer). Divide the cauliflower into small florets.

Step 3

Pour vegetable oil into the frying pan and put the vegetables in. Fry over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, then add a little water and simmer under the lid until the vegetables are soft (about 8 minutes).

Step 4

Add bulgur to the vegetables and mix thoroughly.

Step 5

Sprinkle the dish with ground paprika, add salt and pepper (to taste), stir again and turn off the heat.

Step 6

Place the dish on plates and serve for lunch or dinner. Enjoy!
