Instructions
- 1
Dice the onion, cut the chicken into cubes, pick through the bulgur, and rinse it in a strainer.
- 2
Heat the olive oil and butter in a pot, cook the onion for 4 minutes until lightly pink, add the chicken, and sear all sides for 6 minutes.
10 min10:00 - 3
Add the tomato paste and fry for 2 minutes; add the salt, black pepper, and half of the sumac.
2 min02:30 - 4
Add the bulgur and turn it in the fat for 1 minute; pour in 3 cups boiling water, cover, and cook over low heat for 15 minutes.
15 min15:00 - 5
Remove from the heat and sprinkle with the remaining sumac; cover the lid with a cloth and let it steam for 8 minutes.
8 min08:00 - 6
Divide into bowls, crown with finely chopped parsley, and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Add the sumac in two stages: half with the pilaf water, half freshly sprinkled before serving, so the volatile aroma is preserved. Do not skip the resting time if you want the bulgur grains to stay distinct.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with plenty of chopped parsley and lemon slices; onion sumac salad and cacik balance it well.
