1
Place the fine bulgur in a large heatproof bowl.

3
While the bulgur is soaking, combine the rinsed red lentils with the lentil water in a small pot.
Približno 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.
Približno 12 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Do not overcook the lentils; they should not be mushy.

Add the tomato paste, red pepper paste, olive oil, lemon juice, ground cumin, pul biber, salt, and black pepper to the bulgur.
Približno 2 min
8
Mix thoroughly with your hands, squeezing gently to ensure the pastes and spices are evenly distributed throughout the bulgur.
Približno 3 min
