Bulgur with vegetables

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.
