What is Cirdingis dish?

Cirdingis dish is a traditional Anatolian preparation of bulgur, green lentils, onion, olive oil and spices. The grains stay pleasantly chewy while the lentils soften, making it a hearty, savoury dish with a simple home-cooked character.

Serve it warm as a main or as part of a larger meal, with a crisp salad or pickles alongside. A spoonful of yoghurt is an option for those who eat dairy; it is not needed to make the dish satisfying. Bulgur and lentils contribute fibre and plant protein, with 4.1 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter version, use the oil sparingly and let the onion and spices bring the flavour.
