Place the bulgur in a bowl. Bring the water to a boil and add it to the bowl with the bulgur. Stir briefly and then discard the water. Do not sieve. The residual moisture and heat are enough to soften the bulgur. Cover the bowl with a cloth and set aside. Peel and chop the onion, tomato, pepper, etc. Chop the herbs (not too finely). Cut the lettuce leaves into strips. During this time, the bulgur has had enough time to marinate. Then add the tomato paste and oil to the bowl with the bulgur. Mix well. Then add the rest. Season to taste, and you’re done. Chill in the refrigerator for a while. If you like it spicy, you can add a little cayenne pepper.
