Grilled Summer Vegetables & Bulgur
Tonight’s dinner – had a side of grilled veggies and bulgur. This side dish is a really fast and easy side that packs in a good deal of nutrients. This side can also be served as a vegetarian main and can be eaten cold or hot. So double up and bring it to lunch the next day or a repeat dinner. It’s a little scorched on the edges, but still very tasty. A quick grill with olive oil and then after you combine the veggies and bulgur, give it a quick toss with some chopped fresh basil and a little bit of olive oil.
I have a grill grate that I place over the grill top because I worry that the vegetables will fall through. I sprayed the grate with a little oil first to make sure the veggies wouldn’t stick and I used a sweet onion along with some summer squash, and red peppers.
Ingredients:
- 1 red pepper
- 1 sweet onion
- 1 small to med zucchini
- 1 similar sized yellow squash
- 1 cup dried bulgur cooked according to directions
- 2 tbs olive oil
- olive oil spray
Core, de-stem and slice pepper lengthwise. Slice onions into similar size. Slice zucchini down lengthwise into fourths, and divide into thirds so that you end up with rectangles of squash. Do the same with the yellow squash. Spray grill grate with oil, and also the vegetables. Sprinkle with dried basil, salt and pepper. Place on the grill and if you can flip – a couple of minutes on each side.
Cook the bulgur according to directions. Chop fresh basil up and toss in a serving bowl along with some olive oil, salt, pepper, the bulgur and the grilled veggies. That’s it, on the table in twenty minutes at the most.
