Mercimek (Lentil) and Bulgur Pilav or Masoor Bulgur Pilav:
Ingredients:
1 cup red lentils (masoor dal)
1 cup fine bulgur
1 medium onion (finely chopped)
2 tbsp olive oil or butter
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cumin powder
4 cups water or vegetable broth
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
Cook the Lentils:
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly.
In a large pot, add 2 cups of water (or broth) and bring to a boil.
Add the lentils and cook for 10-12 minutes until they’re soft but still hold their shape. Drain and set aside.
Sauté Onions:
In the same pot, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until soft and golden.
Add Tomato Paste and Spices:
Stir in the tomato paste, cumin, and paprika. Cook for 2 minutes to release the flavors.
Add Bulgur:
Add the bulgur to the pot and stir to coat it with the tomato and spice mixture.
Simmer:
Pour in 2 cups of water or broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the bulgur absorbs the liquid.
Combine Lentils and Bulgur:
Once the bulgur is cooked, add the cooked lentils into the pot. Stir well to combine.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Rest and Serve:
Remove from heat and let the pilav rest for a few minutes with the lid on.
Fluff with a fork before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
