4. Place the oil and butter in the pot, and heat over medium heat until the butter melts.

   

5. Add the onions, garlic, and peppers to the pot and sauté for 3 minutes until slightly softened.

   

6. Add the tomato paste, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes, then stir until combined.

8. Once the tomatoes release their juices, sprinkle the sugar and rinsed bulgur over the top.

   

9. Add enough boiling water to just cover the ingredients.

   

10. Turn the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 10 minutes.
