Grate the zucchini, rinse the bulgur, and prepare the garlic yogurt in a separate bowl.
Turn the grated zucchini in olive oil for 6 minutes.
Add the bulgur, cover, and let it swell for 8 minutes.
Let the mixture cool for 7 minutes so the yogurt does not curdle from the heat.
Drizzle the garlic yogurt over the top and serve warm with oil flavored with red pepper flakes.
💡 Tip: Letting the bulgur swell in the zucchini juices brings the plate together without watering down the flavor.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with plain rice or steamed bulgur, plus pickles and cacik on the side for a richer plate.
