Ingredients:

Serving

4 cups stock ( vegetable or beef as you like)
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 pinch of cayenne or a tiny squeeze (about 1/4 tsp) of chili pepper paste
1 salt and pepper to taste
1 cup brown or green lentils, rinsed
1 1/4 cups coarse-ground bulgur
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 large onions, halved and thickly sliced

Directions:

In a large, heavy pot, bring the stock to a boil. Stir in the tomato paste and all spices except the salt and pepper, then add the lentils. Simmer, with the lid on, for about 15 minutes or until the lentils are almost tender.
Taste, and add salt and pepper if desired (you probably wonâ??t need the salt if youâ??ve used a pre-prepared stock). Stir in the bulgur, put the lid back on, and cook over very low heat for another 10-15 minutes. Check it; if it seems dry, add a splash of water. Put the lid back on, remove from heat, and let the pot sit for another 10 minutes or so, after which time the bulgur should be tender and nicely plumped. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil (Use additional stock if mixture is too dry.)
As your stock is coming to the boil, get started on the onions. Heat 1 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the onions and fry over medium heat for about 30 minutes, stirring often, until theyâ??re very brown. Turn the heat up towards the end to caramelize the onions.
Serve the lentils and bulgur topped with the onions and accompany, if you like, with thick Greek yogurt. The dish may be served hot or cold.
