Marhaba! It has been a while since I last shared a recipe with you dear Arabic lovers. No worries, I want you all to know that my wife and I are still cooking very tasty Middle Eastern dishes and our friends keep asking us for more and more dishes, as well as recipes. Today, I want to teach you how to cook bulgur, known as dried crack wheat, with tomatoes the Lebanese way. This is a very popular dish in many Middle Eastern, Asian, and European countries. I got this recipe from my mother in law, and both our families have been using this recipe for decades. So, please give it a shot and let me know how it goes. You can easily serve this easy and very tasty dish with other Lebanese and more generally Middle Eastern dishes. My wife and I have and serve this dish with cold yogurt.<\/p>\n
