Before you start

Prepare all vegetables, then start onion, pepper and courgette for bulgur. While it cooks covered, briefly boil broccoli in a separate pot and drain thoroughly.

Meal preparation order

Use bulgur’s 5-minute rest to finish broccoli in the frying pan. Add garlic near the end, then lemon when serving. Fluff bulgur without mashing it.
