Burghul aa Banadoura

Ingredients

  • 2 large tomatoes
  • 2 medium onions
  • chicken or vegetable stock optional
  • 4 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 Tbsp tomato paste
  • ½ cup crushed Lebanese bulgur
  • 1 tsp white or black pepper
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Dice your onions into wings and your tomatoes into small cubes.
  • Add the vegetable oil and the onions and leave them on low heat until richly brown or caramelized. You can spare a bit of the caramelized onions to top your dish at the end.
  • At this point you want to add the diced tomatoes and leave them cooking on low heat until softened.
  • Add the tomato paste and stir.
  • Now add the bulgur into the mixture after rinsing it with water and stir to combine.
  • Add enough water or stock to cover the mixture.
  • Cover the pan and let it cook slowly; it should take about 20 mins or less until the bulgur has softened and absorbed all the water. Taste it to know. You can now add salt to your liking, black or white pepper, and cayenne pepper powder if you like the extra spice. Serve warm!
