Instructions
- 1
Rinse the fine bulgur under cold water in a fine-mesh sieve. Set aside.
~1 min - 2
In a saucepan, combine the rinsed bulgur and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.
~10 min - 3
While the bulgur is simmering, whisk the eggs in a small bowl with salt and pepper.
~1 min - 4
Once the bulgur is cooked, fluff it with a fork and set aside.
~1 min - 5
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
~4 min - 6
Add the cooked bulgur to the frying pan with the onions. Stir well to combine and cook for 2 minutes.
~2 min - 7
Pour the whisked eggs over the bulgur mixture. Cook, stirring gently, as you would for scrambled eggs, until the eggs are set but still moist.
~3 min - 8
Stir in the chopped parsley, mint, and sumac. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
~1 min - 9
Serve immediately.
Tips
- For a creamier texture, you can add a tablespoon of yogurt or a splash of milk to the eggs before whisking.
- This dish is delicious served with a side of fresh tomato and cucumber salad, or a dollop of plain yogurt.
