Bulgur with Vegetables

Method

1. 01

   Step 1: Cut the vegetables

   Dice the onion and pepper small and the tomatoes a little larger. There is no need to skin the tomatoes.

2. 02

   Step 2: Fry the onion

   Heat the oil and fry the onion for 5 minutes until translucent, then add the pepper for another 3 minutes.

3. 03

   Step 3: Add the spices

   Add the paprika and cumin, stir and warm for 30 seconds — dry spices open up in hot oil.

4. 04

   Step 4: Add the tomatoes

   Add the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste and cook for 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens.

5. 05

   Step 5: Toast the bulgur

   Add the bulgur and fry, stirring, for 2 minutes so every grain is coated in oil.

6. 06

   Step 6: Add water

   Pour in the hot water, add salt and pepper, bring to a boil, then turn the heat right down and cover.

7. 07

   Step 7: Steam

   Cook for 12 minutes, take off the heat and leave covered for another 10 minutes without lifting the lid.
