Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir tomatoes through the onion, continue cooking until tomatoes soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour beef broth over the onion and tomato mixture, bring to a boil.

  2. Stir bulgur into the boiling broth, season with salt and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook at a simmer until the bulgur begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add lentils and chickpeas, continue cooking until the moisture evaporates and the bulgur is tender, 3 to 5 minutes more.

  3. Remove the skillet from heat. Set aside to cool about 30 minutes. Fold mint into the bulgur mixture to serve.

Recipe Note

This is a traditional dish during Ramadan months especially. Translated this from Turkish so I apologize if the measurements are slightly off.
