2 green pointed peppers, finely diced
1 tsp Salça (tomato puree and/or red pepper paste)

2

Pour hot water over the vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a brief boil and cover, letting it simmer over low heat for about 18-20 minutes until the bulgur is tender. Stir once, adjust seasoning if needed, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with chopped chives, parsley, or tomato cubes, and serve with delicious yogurt.
