In a saucepan, combine bulgur wheat and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
~15 min - 2
While bulgur cooks, heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
~4 min - 3
Add minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the frying pan. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
~1 min - 4
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs. Pour the whisked eggs into the frying pan with the onions and spices. Scramble gently until cooked through.
~3 min - 5
Fluff the cooked bulgur with a fork and add it to the frying pan with the scrambled eggs. Stir gently to combine.
~2 min - 6
Stir in the crumbled feta cheese until just warmed through.
~1 min - 7
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the other spices.
- This dish is best served hot but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
