1. Heat the oil in a heavy 2- to 3-quart pot with a tight-fitting lid over a medium flame. Put in the onion. Stir and sauté for 2 minutes or until onion is soft. Add the tomatoes. Stir and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until tomatoes are pastelike. |
2. Add the chickpeas, salt, and parsley. Cook for about 10 minutes on lowish heat, stirring gently as you do so. Now put in the bulgar wheat, water, and the remaining salt. Stir and bring to a simmer. Cover, turn heat to very low and cook for 35 minutes. |
