Bulgur Rice with Zucchini

Hello Dear Friends,

I love bulgur pilaf. Usually, I make extra additions to feed my daughter extra vegetables and legumes :) This is sometimes in mushrooms, mixed side dishes or legumes such as green lentils and chickpeas. Zucchini definitely goes well with bulgur pilaf. If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend you try it.

I use either grated tomato or tomato sauce that I prepared myself in this rice. Recipe for my tomato sauce You can find it here. You don't have to deal with the jar, you just need to portion it and throw it in the freezer when it gets cold.

Love…
