Instructions
- 1
Finely chop the onion; pick over the bulgur and pass it through a sieve.
- 2
Melt the butter in a pot over medium heat, soften the onion for 4 minutes, then add the bulgur and turn for 2 minutes.
6 min06:00 - 3
Add the grated tomato and saute for 3 minutes, until its sharp raw smell disappears.
3 min03:00 - 4
Add the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes; pour in the hot water and stir once.
- 5
Cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes, until the bulgur absorbs the liquid.
15 min15:00 - 6
Remove from the heat, cover the lid with a cloth, and let steam for 5 minutes.
5 min05:00 - 7
Gently stir the pilaf without crushing the grains, transfer to a serving plate, and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Do not skip sauteing the grated tomato; turn it for 3 to 4 minutes until its liquid cooks down so no raw taste remains. Do not rinse the bulgur, because its starch binds the dish.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve on a platter with cold yogurt, cacik, or onion piyaz on the side; sprinkle extra red pepper flakes on top if desired.
