Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • ½ medium onion small diced
  • 3 sweet long thin green pepper small diced
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 cup coarse bulgur
  • 1 cup grated tomatoes
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 cups hot water

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil and butter in a shallow pot. Add the onion to the pot and cook until it gets translucent. Add the pepper to the pot, cook for a few minutes, then add the tomato paste and mix them well.
  • Add the bulgur to the pot and saute for about 5 minutes. Then add the grated tomatoes, spices, and salt over the bulgur.
