Directions
- To prepare the Ezogelin soup, we begin by sautéing in a pressure cooker, butter, chopped onion, and crushed garlic. ≈ 3 min
- Simply brown the onion until it loses its bright color, using medium heat. ≈ 3 min
- Once the onions are cooked, add the cilantro, red chili pepper, and tomato paste. ≈ 3 min
- We continue cooking. ≈ 3 min
- After thoroughly mixing the peas, rice, bulgur, and salt, add them together. ≈ 3 min
- Now, we pour approximately 2 liters of boiling water from the other side.
- After closing the lid and pouring spout, let it simmer for 10 minutes.
- You can also do this in a regular pot, but you will need to let it simmer for a longer period (approximately 30 to 40 minutes).
