- extra virgin olive oil - 4 tbsp
- butter - 100g
- onions - 2 (diced, large or 4 small)
- garlic - 3 cloves (finely chopped)

Instructions
- Brown the meat: Heat olive oil in a pot and brown the meat. Remove the meat and set aside.
- Sauté vegetables: In the same pot, add butter and sauté onions, garlic, and green peppers.
- Toast bulgur: Add bulgur to the pot and toast until it emits a nutty aroma.
- Add spices and tomatoes: Stir in tomato paste, black pepper, and paprika. Add chopped tomatoes and cook until the sour smell of the tomato paste disappears.
- Cook the bulgur: Add water or broth and the browned meat back into the pot. Cook until bulgur is tender and water is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
- Let it rest: Turn off the heat and let the bulgur pilavi rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
