De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

1
Place the fine bulgur in a large heatproof bowl.
Ongeveer 1 min
2
Pour the boiling water over the bulgur, cover the bowl tightly, and let it sit for 20 minutes until the bulgur has absorbed the water and softened.
Tip van de kok: Ensure the water is truly boiling for best results.
3
While the bulgur is soaking, combine the rinsed red lentils with the lentil water in a small pot.
Ongeveer 1 min
4
Bring the lentils to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes until they are tender but still hold their shape.
Ongeveer 12 min
Tip van de kok: Do not overcook the lentils; they should not be mushy.
5
Drain any excess water from the cooked lentils and set them aside to cool slightly.
Ongeveer 2 min
6
Once the bulgur is soft, fluff it with a fork.
Ongeveer 1 min
7
Add the tomato paste, red pepper paste, olive oil, lemon juice, ground cumin, pul biber, salt, and black pepper to the bulgur.
Ongeveer 2 min
8
Mix thoroughly with your hands, squeezing gently to ensure the pastes and spices are evenly distributed throughout the bulgur.
Ongeveer 3 min
