Method

  1. Fry the vegetables

    In the fats, soften the finely chopped onion until pink, add the peppers and stir for 2 minutes.

  2. Add paste and tomato

    Add the tomato paste and grated tomato and fry until the juices reduce.

  3. Add the bulgur

    Add the rinsed bulgur and stir for 2 minutes. Add the hot water and salt.

  4. Cook and rest

    Once it boils, cook covered on a low heat until the water is absorbed. Turn off the heat and let it steam.

Tips

  • The bulgur should be coarse. Fine kofte bulgur turns mushy.
  • To steam it, cover the pan with a towel and leave it for 10 minutes without opening.

Storage

Keeps in the fridge for 3 days. Also good cold.
