A fiery, filling bulgur salad in which fine bulgur is kneaded with tomato paste, fresh vegetables, and pomegranate molasses. A classic of tea gatherings and crowded tables, kısır is also served wrapped in lettuce leaves.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Soak the bulgur

15 min

Pour boiling water over the fine bulgur, cover with a lid, and let it sit until the bulgur absorbs the water and swells.

2

Add the tomato paste

4 min

While the bulgur is still warm, add the tomato and pepper paste and knead by pressing with the palm of your hand so the paste coats every grain.

3

Add the vegetables and spices

5 min

Add the tomato, cucumber, green onion, parsley, pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, olive oil, red pepper flakes, cumin, and salt, and mix thoroughly.

4

Serve

1 min

Serve the kısır together with lettuce leaves; those who like can wrap it in the lettuce to eat.

Reminder

Important: Soak the fine bulgur in boiling water, cover, and let it swell; bulgur left in too much water turns doughy. Add the tomato paste and liquids while the bulgur is still warm, so the flavors work in better. Contains gluten (bulgur); vegan.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you knead the kısır by squeezing it with your palm, the tomato paste and spices spread evenly into every grain of bulgur; mixing with a spoon stays only surface-level.
