Step 2
Place the bulgur in a pot, saucepan or heatproof bowl. Then pour ½ liter (500 ml) hot vegetable broth over the bulgur. Cover and set aside for 20-25 minutes, or until all of the liquid has been absorbed.
Step 3
In the meantime, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan or skillet. Add the onions and sauté for 1-2 minutes until almost translucent. Then add the bell peppers and carrots and sauté another 3 minutes. Finally, add the garlic and sauté a further minute, or until the veggies are tender. Set aside.
Step 4
Once the bulgur has absorbed all of the liquid, transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the Ajvar (or paprika paste), tomato paste and sautéed vegetables to combine.
Step 5
Allow to cool to room temperature, then mix in the oil, vinegar, parsley, and seasonings (salt, pepper, paprika, chili, sugar) to taste.
Step 6
Enjoy immediately or cover and refrigerate overnight to unfold flavors.
