Bulgur pilav with tomato and lentils


Ingredients:

1 cup bulgur wheat
1 cup cooked green lentils (just boil in salted water for 30 minutes and drain)
1 onion
1 clove of garlic
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 large tomato
5-6 sun-dried tomatoes
2,5 cups chicken/vegetable stock
50 ml olive oil
Salt

Directions:
  • Dice the onion and saute in the olive oil in a pot.
  • Finely slice the garlic and add to the pot, give it a quick stir.
  • Add the tomato paste and stir for 1 minute.
  • Add the bulgur and lentils and cook for another minute.
  • In the meantime, dice the tomato and add to the pot.
  • Pour in the stock.
  • Slice and add the dried tomatoes and mix.
  • Over medium-low heat, cook with the lid closed until all the liquid is absorbed into the bulgur. (takes about 20 minutes) If the water is gone before the bulgur is cooked, add a little bit more.
  • Once you turn off the oven, cover the pot with some paper towels and put the lid back on. Let it rest for 15 minutes, then serve.
Enjoy!
