Ingredients:

For 4 people
🕐 Preparation: 15 min.      🕐 Cooking: 30 min.
Bulgur (Coarse Grain Rice) 2 Cup Satın al
Dry Onion 2 Qty
Tomato (Mature) 2 Qty
Green Pepper 2 Qty
Garlic 1 Clove
Butter 2 Tbsp
Olive Oil 1 Tbsp
Tomato Paste 2 Tbsp
Pepper Paste ((Optional)) 1 Tbsp
Dried Mint 1 Qty
Black Pepper 1 Tsp
Chili Pepper 1 Tsp
Granulated Sugar 1 Tsp
Salt 1 Tsp (large)
Water (Or Broth) 4 Cup

Instructions:

  1. Finely chop the onion and, if you want to use it, the garlic and green pepper.
  2. Add olive oil and butter to your pan and heat a little. You can also use oil instead of butter. Put the diced onion in the pot and fry for a few minutes. Then add the garlic and sauté together. If you are going to use only tomato paste instead of tomato, at this stage, turn the paste until its smell is gone.
  3. Add finely chopped green peppers to the roasted onion, garlic and tomato paste mixture and fry for a few more minutes.
  4. Next, prepare the tomatoes by peeling the skins off. You can grate it or use it by dicing.
  5. When the peppers soften a little, add the tomatoes last and continue to fry them all.
  6. Add your bulgur, which you washed and drained in cold water, on top of this mixture and add salt, sugar, black pepper and simmer for a few more minutes.
  7. Add hot water or chicken broth or broth (1 by 1.5 measure) if available, close the lid and put on low heat.
  8. When your bulgur pilaf has drained, you can cover it with a paper towel and let it rest for ten minutes and serve it hot or warm.
  9. Note: If you like bulgur pilaf with a softer consistency, add half a glass of hot water and cook it.
  10. You can use bulgur pilaf as a side dish alongside your meat or chicken dishes, grills, or serve it as a main dish with tzatziki or shepherd's salad. Enjoy your meal!
