Instructions

Cook bulgur
1

Wash and dry all produce. Heat broiler to high or oven to 500 degrees. Combine bulgur, stock concentrate, 2½ cups water, and a pinch of salt in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover. Cook until tender, 12-15 minutes. Remove from heat and keep covered.

Prep and roast veggies
2

Halve, peel, and cut onions into ½-inch wedges. Quarter tomatoes through stem end. Halve zucchini lengthwise and slice into 2-inch wedges. Toss veggies on a baking sheet with 4 tsp olive oil, sumac, salt, and pepper. Broil (or roast) until softened and slightly charred, 10-12 minutes.

Shape meatballs
3

Lightly mix ground beef, panko, Middle Eastern spice blend, salt, and pepper in a large bowl to combine. Gently pat into golf-ball-sized meatballs with your hands.

Cook meatballs
4

Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add meatballs and cook to desired doneness, 6-10 minutes, turning to brown on all sides.

Finish Bulgur
5

Finely chop parsley. Fluff bulgur with a fork, season with salt and pepper, and stir in half the parsley.

Plate and serve
6

Divide bulgur between plates. Top with veggies and meatballs. Dollop with sour cream and garnish with remaining parsley.
