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<p style=\"text-align: center\">Bulgur with Tomatoes<br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>\u0628\u0631\u063a\u0644 \u0645\u0639 \u0627\u0644\u0637\u0645\u0627\u0637\u0645<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13730\" style=\"width: 285px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter post-item__attachment\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Bulgur_on_plate.jpg\" aria-label=\"Bulgur On Plate\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13730\" class=\" wp-image-13730\"  alt=\"\" width=\"275\" height=\"367\" \/ src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/arabic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/01\/Bulgur_on_plate.jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/arabic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/01\/Bulgur_on_plate.jpeg 375w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/arabic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/01\/Bulgur_on_plate-263x350.jpeg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 275px) 100vw, 275px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13730\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via Wikimedia Commons (CC 2.0)<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><u>Ingredients<\/u> (<strong>\u0627\u0644\u0645\u0643\u0648\u0646\u0627\u062a<\/strong>)<br \/>\n<strong>&#8211;<\/strong> Ground <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">coarse bulgur<\/span> (<strong>\u0628\u0631\u063a\u0644 \u062e\u0634\u0646<\/strong>)<br \/>\n&#8211; 3 <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Tomatoes<\/span> (<strong>\u0637\u0645\u0627\u0637\u0645<\/strong>)<br \/>\n&#8211; 4 tablespoons of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">tomato paste<\/span> (<strong>\u0645\u0639\u062c\u0648\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0637\u0645\u0627\u0637\u0645<\/strong>)<br \/>\n&#8211; 4 medium <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">onions<\/span>\u00a0(<strong>\u0628\u0635\u0644<\/strong>)<br \/>\n&#8211; <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Olive oil<\/span> (<strong>\u0632\u064a\u062a<\/strong> <strong>\u0627\u0644\u0632\u064a\u062a\u0648\u0646<\/strong>)<br \/>\n&#8211; 1 teaspoon of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">salt<\/span> (<strong>\u0645\u0644\u062d<\/strong>)<br \/>\n&#8211; 1 teaspoon <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">allspice<\/span> (<strong>\u0633\u0628\u0639\u0629 \u0628\u0647\u0627\u0631\u0627\u062a<\/strong>)<br \/>\n&#8211; 1 teaspoon <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">cumin<\/span> (<strong>\u0643\u0645\u0648\u0646<\/strong>)<br \/>\n&#8211; 1 container of salty Yogurt (optional)<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13731\" style=\"width: 505px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter post-item__attachment\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Chicken_and_bulgur.jpg\" aria-label=\"Chicken And Bulgur\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13731\" class=\" wp-image-13731\"  alt=\"\" width=\"495\" height=\"371\" \/ src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/arabic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/01\/Chicken_and_bulgur.jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/arabic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/01\/Chicken_and_bulgur.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/arabic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/01\/Chicken_and_bulgur-350x263.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/arabic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/01\/Chicken_and_bulgur-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13731\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via Wikimedia Commons (CC 4.0)<\/p><\/div>\n<p><u>Directions (<\/u><strong>\u0637\u0631\u064a\u0642\u0629<\/strong> <strong>\u0627\u0644\u062a\u062d\u0636\u064a\u0631<\/strong>)<br \/>\n&#8211; <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Wash<\/span>\u00a0(<strong>\u0627\u063a\u0633\u0644<\/strong>) and drain bulgur<br \/>\n&#8211; Peel and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">chop<\/span> <strong>(\u0642\u0637\u0639)<\/strong> tomatoes<br \/>\n&#8211; Dissolve tomato paste in water<br \/>\n&#8211; Chop onions<br \/>\n&#8211; Heat olive oil in a sauce pan and then add onions until they become golden<br \/>\n&#8211; Mix in bulgur and stir for a couple of minutes<br \/>\n&#8211; <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Add<\/span> (<strong>\u0623\u0636\u0641<\/strong>) tomatoes, spices, tomato paste,\u00a0 3 cups of hot water, bulgur, and onions in a pot<br \/>\n&#8211; Let all ingredients simmer on a low heat with the lid on the pot for about 25 minutes.
