Begin by finely chopping the onion and dicing the tomato.
In a medium saucepan, heat up the olive oil. Add the onion and sauté for a few minutes on medium heat until the onion is translucent.
Stir in the diced tomato and sauté until it has completely softened, about 2-3 minutes.Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Rinse the bulgur 2-3 times and add the washed bulgur.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the vegetable broth (chicken broth if you prefer). Stir well and let it come to a simmer.
After most of the broth has been absorbed, about 5-7 minutes, lower the heat to low and cover to cook for 10 more minutes.
