Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, small dice
  • 1 small carrot, small dice
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, small dice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried mint
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Turkish red pepper paste
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can Hunts fire roasted tomatoes
  • ¾ cup medium-grind bulgur, rinsed
  • 5 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
  • fresh mint, lemon wedges, and red pepper flakes for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, bell pepper, garlic, mint, oregano, salt, and pepper. Sauté until the onions soften, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the red pepper paste. Stir-fry back and forth until the vegetables are evenly coated, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and their juice, bulgur, broth, and water. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the bulgur is tender, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes.
  3. Stir in fresh parsley (and mint optional), and serve with lemon wedges on the side with red pepper flakes.
