Soak the chickpeas in water for 12 hours, then drain.
Boil the diced beef with 3 cups of hot water for 28 minutes.
Dice the onion small and soften it in butter for 5 minutes.
Add the tomato paste and fry for 2 minutes.
Add the firik, bulgur for pilaf, chickpeas, meat, meat broth, remaining hot water, salt, and black pepper to the pot.
Cook the grain and chickpea mixture covered over low heat for 25 minutes.
Turn off the heat, rest the pot for 10 minutes, and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Do not rub the firik for long while washing it; if the smoky husk aroma passes into the water, the dish loses character.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve firikli as as a Kilis-style main dish with pickles, optional ayran, and roasted peppers.
