Zucchini with Bulgar Balls
(3)
1 hour 10 minutes
A very hearty but yet healthy vegetable dish. Bulgar balls soak up the sauce and give this dish a lovely bite. Even the carnivores in my family love this dish :) Use fine bulgar for this recipe.

- Put the bulgar in a large bowl and pour some boiling water just to cover it. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a frying pan and saute the chopped onions until they are soft. Add the garlic, paprika and tomato puree and stir for 1-2 minutes on a medium heat.
- Add the zucchini, saute for 3 minutes and then stir in the tomatoes. Cover with a lid and put it on a low heat.
- Check if the bulgar wheat has fluffed up and soft. If not add more boiling water and wait.
- Once the bulgar is softer and cooler add the plain flour. Season with salt and pepper. Combine and knead it till it forms a consistent dough.
- Make little balls size of a hazelnut, keeping a bowl of water next to you to dip your fingers in, as it can be a bit sticky.
- Cook the bulgar balls in boiling water for about 7-8 minutes. Once they float on the top they are ready.
- Drain and add them to the zucchini mixture. Stir and cook for 7-8 minutes more. Season with fresh dill, salt and pepper. Serve hot or warm.
