Cook up some bulgur, add in all your leftover vegetables and you’ve got yourself a good, healthy and an easy meal. Sounds simple, right? Try it out!
There are so many different variations of bulgur available, but for this recipe I used extra coarse bulgur. It is rougher in texture and needs a bit longer to cook. Adding a little vegan butter while it’s cooking insures that the bulgur doesn’t stick together.
As always, this dish is ideal to pack with you for lunch and work or as a side dish.
