Savory Bulgur with Caramelized Onions (Sade Simit Asi)

April 3, 2018 by eeturner Leave a Comment

 

Creamy and smooth bulgur, packed with flavor and topped with caramelized onions.

If you love polenta, then you will love this bulgur dish. The bulgur is simmered in a delicious tomato broth until it is tender and creamy. Then it topped with caramelized onions and ready to enjoy!

Here’s the recipe:

Sade Simit Asi

  • 3.5 c simit bulgur (finely ground bulgur)
  • 1 large onion (diced)
  • 1 1/4 c tomato paste
  • 2 TBSP sunflower oil
  • 2 TBSP olive oil
  • 2 TBSP red pepper flakes
  • salt & pepper (to taste)
Preparation:
Sauté the onion in the olive oil and sunflower oil for 3-5 minutes. Add 1 TBSP of red pepper flakes and set aside.

Then in a large stock pot, add the tomato paste, 1 TBSP of red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Stir well.
Then pour in the bulgur and 6-7 cups of hot water.
Stir until well combined and simmer on medium heat for 10-15 minutes, adding more water as needed.

To serve, plate the cooked bulgur and top with the onions.
Enjoy!

Afiyet Olsun!
