Easy Vegan Bulgur Wheat and Roast Vegetable Recipe

Share this Recipe!

4 shares

Bulgur Wheat with Roast Vegetables. After all that exciting baking and curious combinations, I thought I would cook us something that uses up those inscrutable veggie scraps from the fridge, some crumbled vegan Feta from a half opened pack and some dregs of Bulgur Wheat.

Yes, it's another one of those 'End Of the Month' dishes that I seem to spend more time cooking than anything else!

Actually, in spite of the ingredients perhaps being a little past their Use By Date, this dish was delicious and exactly what I was craving. Furthermore, it was low fat to boot!

Easy Vegan Bulgar Wheat and Roast Vegetable Recipe

The beauty of this kind of dish is that it looks stunningly colourful, like you've spent hours slaving over it and all the ingredients are fairly interchangeable. Don't have any Bulgur Wheat? Then use Cous Cous. Don't like Feta? So, use your favourite vegan cheese or no cheese at all. Suffice to say, the vegetables that languish in your fridge also dictate what you put in the dish.

And if you needed further encouragement, this is also really, really quick and simple to prepare.
To give my dish a slightly Middle Eastern flavour, I used Seasoned Pioneers Saudi Kabsa Spice Mix on the vegetables when I roasted them. Kabsa is a spicy blend of Cayenne Pepper, Cardamom, Coriander, Clove and Cumin, amongst many other fragrant ingredients. And of course, you can use your own favourite spice mix (Cajun is another favourite) or just plain old salt and pepper.

What is Bulgur Wheat?

Bulgur Wheat is an ancient cereal, made from the cracked groats of several types of wheat, often durum. The groats are already parboiled which makes the preparation of Bulgur Wheat quick. It is a popular ingredient in Middle Eastern cookery, and has a light, nutty flavour. I prefer it to Cous Cous which I find has a "wetter" texture and less flavour. Bulgur is firmer and has a better flavour.

How Do You Prepare Bulgur Wheat?

  • My Bulgur Wheat recipe is so simple and quick. I don't boil it, or put it in a pan.
  • Pour the Bulgur Wheat into a heatproof mixing bowl
  • Sprinkle over a stock cube or stock powder
  • Pour enough boiling water over to just cover.
  • Cover with clingfilm and leave for at least 15 minutes.
  • In this time, the Bulgur Wheat will have absorbed all the water. Stir it to fluff up all the grains, and it's ready to use!

Roast Vegetable and Bulgar Wheat with Vegan Greek Cheese

Because this dish without a name is effectively a warm salad, it needed a dressing, which is where the roasting juices come into their own. If you have used a spice mix when roasting your vegetables, pour the naturally flavoursome juices over the final dish before serving - it improves the flavour 100%.

If you have some flaccid vegetables that need using up before they walk out of the fridge and start a riot of their own, here's how to prepare this dish.

Roast Vegetable and Bulgur Wheat with Vegan Greek Cheese

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
A simple and delicious supper dish that will give you leftovers for lunch the next day!

Ingredients

  • 250 g Bulgur Wheat or cous cous
  • 400 g Assorted Veg for roasting (onion, tomatoes, courgette, peppers) I like to buy supermarket ready prepped trays
  • 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoon Spice Mix (I like Cajun)
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1 Vegetable Stock Cube (or 1 tablespoon stock powder)
  • 100 g Vegan Greek Cheese
  • 2 tablespoon Pine Nuts toasted
  • 1 bunch Spring Onions chopped (or fresh chives)
  • 1 lemon juice

Instructions

  • In a large roasting tin, pour the olive oil and mix with a couple of tablespoons of your spice mix. Place in the hot oven whilst you chop the vegetables.
  • Toss the vegetables into the hot, spicy oil, season with a little salt and pepper (if you feel your mix isn't that salty) and roast until tender. This can take between 30-40 minutes, depending on the vegetables used.
  • Whilst the veg is roasting, prepare the Bulgur Wheat. I add the bulgar to a large bowl, crumble over the stock cube and just cover with boiling water, then clingfilm.
  • Once the Bulgur or Cous Cous is fluffed and has absorbed all the stock, tip then deliciously roasted and slightly charred in places vegetables over the top and toss gently with a fork.
  • Pour the juices from the roasting pan over the bulgur, then crumble over the feta. Give a final, all amalgamating forking, sprinkle over some chopped spring onions, toasted pine nuts and parsley (or herbs of your choice), give a spritz of lemon juice to brighten up all the flavours.

    I didn't have bulgur wheat so I tried it with cous cous and it still turned out perfect! It was so flavorful and easy to make. I'm definitely going to meal prep my lunches with this recipe. So yummy!

    I'm transitioning to plant based and this is one of my new favorite recipes to make for the family. It doesn't require too much work at all and has a decent amount of nutritious veggies in it!

    I've never tried bulgur, I can't wait to make this. Peppers, zucchini, and red onion is my favorite veggie combo to roast!

    This is perfect for a healthy family dinner (I have to negotiate hard and set days for junk food or way too meaty dinners to make everybody happy😁), but this is my type of food!

    This sounds great to me! I live with two vegetarians and while I don't mind the occasional meat- free meal, what I don't like is fake meat! I would rather just eat something like your featured recipe, which is meat- free with an emphasis on veggies and wheat.

    My daughter in law was just talking to me about bulgur wheat. Now I saw it here. Isn't that how it goes though? When you hear of something you've never heard of, you immediately hear of it again. 🙂
