What is Zucchini stew with einkorn bulgur?

Zucchini stew with einkorn bulgur is a Turkish home-style dish of tender zucchini cooked with bulgur made from einkorn, an old wheat variety. Onion, tomato and olive oil are common additions, while the bulgur absorbs the cooking liquid and gives the stew a gently chewy, filling texture.

It is usually served warm, either as a simple main or alongside other dishes; a spoonful of yogurt or some bread makes a familiar pairing. The zucchini keeps it light, while the grain and vegetables contribute fibre—about 2.3 g per 100 g. For a lighter version, go easy on the oil, and finish with fresh herbs for extra fragrance.
