First heat the oil and fry the onion in it until translucent. Don`t let it turn brown.
Sweat the tomato and pepper pulp for a few seconds and set aside.
Boil water and pour boiling over the bulgur. Stir the whole thing with the salt until the bulgur has absorbed everything.
While stirring, I always do a bite test to see whether it is al dente, maybe take a little less or more water. It`s like rice - some types of bulgur need more water, some types less.
Then add the onion-oil-tomato paste mixture and mix with the lemon juice and pomegranate syrup.
If you can`t get hold of pomegranate syrup (you can get it from the Turkish grocer), you can maybe replace it with a little balsamic vinegar. But then take more lemon juice. I haven`t tried it myself. Therefore, I do not accept any liability if it does not taste as it should.
Finally, add the spring onion and parsley and season with pepper.
Usually I do it by eye, but because so many people wanted the recipe, I took the trouble to weigh everything one by one.
Nevertheless, I would recommend trying again and again in between and varying according to your own taste.
