  • Combine broth, water, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Add bulgur, stir to combine, and remove from heat. Cover and let sit until tender and all of the liquid has been absorbed, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place zucchini in a small bowl, sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and toss to combine; set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. When it shimmers, add garlic and onion, season with freshly ground black pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add zucchini and cook, stirring rarely, until well browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in vinegar and cook until smell has cooked off, about 30 seconds.
  • Remove from heat and stir bulgur into zucchini mixture. Stir in fresh herbs, if using, and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
