Dice the zucchini and finely chop the onion.
Soften the onion with the butter for 4 minutes.
Add the zucchini, bulgur, salt, and black pepper, then stir.
Add 1 cup hot water and cook for 18 minutes, until the zucchini and bulgur are tender.
Whisk the yogurt and crushed garlic until smooth.
Transfer the borani to a plate and spread the garlic yogurt over the top.
Heat the butter with the red pepper flakes, drizzle it over the top, and serve warm.
💡 Tip: Do not dice the zucchini too small; larger pieces hold their shape while cooking with the bulgur.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve Malatya borani warm with fresh bread and roasted peppers.
