Some Turkish recipes..

I have been asked to bake and cook some traditional Turkish food(s) for my friends and I've decided to put some recipes up with the pictures so they can get a better idea..

Red Lentil Burger

Ingredients:

1 cup red lentils

2 cups fine bulgour wheat

1 liter water

2 fine chopped onions

1/2 cup olive oil

1 1/2 tablespoon pepper paste

1/ 1/2 tablespoon tomato paste

1 1/2 tablespoon salt

1 tablespoon black pepper

(Any other seasonings that you like)

5 - 6 green onions (scallions) chopped

1 cup chopped parsley

lettuce

1/2 cup of warm water

Wash the red lentils and add 1 liter water and bring it boil. Keep the lid halfway open. Keep it boil for 5 minutes on low and then add 2 cups of the bulgour wheat to red lentils on the same bowl. Let it sit for awhile to cool it down a little bit..

When it is cooling, Use 1 1/2 cup of olive oil and saute the chooped onions. Add the pepper paste, tomato paste and all the other seasonings into sauted onions.
Before you turned the range of add 1/2 cup of warm water to the mix.

Mix the rest of the ingredients and mix it all up .. Put the lettuce on the bottom of the plate and give them finger shapes like on the picture.. You can actually put one or two inside the lettuce leaf and roll it and ENJOY it..
