Thanks for the recipe Aslı

I recently learned how to make this, and my recipe is different. 

It is:

1 part red lentils

2 1/2 water

1 part bulgar

salt to taste

one chopped yellow onion

1/8th part tomatoe paste or sauce, or fresh peeled tomatoes

black pepper

cumin (fresh ground seeds are best) 

olive oil about 1/4 cup

I like a bite to my food, so I put chili pepper in. and the amount depends on who will be eating. Some people are very sensitive to heat in food. 

directions

put red lentils in pot with water and salt and boil about 10 minutes on low boil

chop onion and put in pan to saute with olive oil 

put cumin & black pepper in pan with onion and oil

put tomatoe in and mix with other ingredients

put bulgar in and mix to get other ingrediends to cover 

Transfer everything into pan with red lentils and mix well.

At this point I have added the rest of the water. It´s best if the water is very hot.

Cover and let sit about an hour. Check to see if bulgar has absorbed the water and is tender. I like it al dente. Some turn heat on to speed the process. 

At this point I like to add cilantro  I think the Turkish word is kişniş. 

Here is what Wikipedia says about it, perhaps someone will give the proper Turkish word. 

Take mix in hand and squeeze into cigar type pieces and place on plate with fresh raw romain lettuce. 

eat on lettuce leave.

Yum....if anyone has variations, it would be nice to read about them. This is a good for vegans.
