What else can I make with these ingredients?
Instructions
- 1
Rinse the coarse bulgur in a sieve, drain off the starchy water, and put it in the pot.
- 2
Heat the milk and water separately; having them hot rather than boiling reduces sticking on the bottom.
- 3
Add the hot milk mixture and salt over the bulgur.
- 4
Cook the milky bulgur over low heat for 28 minutes, stirring occasionally.
28 min28:00 - 5
When the bulgur absorbs the milk and becomes spoonable, add the butter.
- 6
Cook for 3 more minutes, until the butter melts.
3 min03:00 - 7
Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, rest the milky bulgur for 4 minutes, and serve hot.

💡 Tip: If you cannot find sheep's milk, use whole cow's milk; semi-skimmed milk makes lepe look watery and leaves a thin liquid over the bulgur.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve lepe hot in bowls, with pickles and roasted peppers if desired, like a simple Central Anatolian dinner.
