  • 3 sprigs of fresh mint
  • ½ lemon(s), juice

Bring the water to a boil with 1 teaspoon of sea salt, add the bulgur, bring everything back to a boil and let the bulgur swell for about 20 minutes on a low heat. Cut the onions into wedges (like you would cut an apple into eighths, for example). Slice the zucchini. Finely chop the mint leaves. Heat the olive oil in a pan. First, fry the onions briefly, then add the zucchini and fry until the onions are tender and the zucchini still has a bite. Add the raisins, walnuts, mint, and spices and season everything with the lemon juice. Fold in the cooked bulgur and season again to taste, if desired. Serve each portion with a scoop of soy or natural yogurt (about 125g per portion).
