Rinse the bulgur wheat under cold water in a fine-mesh sieve. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed bulgur and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the bulgur is tender.
~12 min - 2
While the bulgur cooks, finely chop the fresh dill. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir in half of the chopped dill.
~3 min - 3
Once the bulgur is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it steam, covered, for another 5 minutes.
~5 min - 4
In a non-stick frying pan, melt the butter or heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cooked bulgur to the pan and spread it evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly golden.
~3 min - 5
Pour the whisked egg mixture over the bulgur. Cook, stirring gently with a spatula, as you would for scrambled eggs, until the eggs are cooked through but still moist. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
~5 min - 6
Stir in the remaining chopped dill. Serve immediately.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, you can add a pinch of cumin or coriander to the egg mixture.
- This dish is delicious served with a dollop of plain yogurt or a side of fresh tomatoes and cucumbers.
