Pomegranate Bulgur Pilaf

(Nar Aşı)

1/2 cup bulgur, large grain, washed and drained -I always use Turkish
Bulgur which taste is better:)
1 cup hot water
1 medium onion, sliced
5-6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp red pepper paste
1 tsp red pepper paste, hot
Salt
Pepper

Garnish:
1/3 cup Pomegranate
Creamy yogurt

Saute the onion with olive oil for about 2-3 minutes. Add the tomato and red pepper pastes, salt and pepper. Continue to saute for about 3-4 more minutes. Then add the bulgur and warm water, put the lid on. Close the lid and continue to cook until the bulgur is done, ie. when all the liquid has evaporated at low heat.

Garnish with pomegranate. Serve the Pomegranate Bulgur Pilav Creamy Yogurt by the side.
