A classic Turkish meze kneaded with bulgur, tomato and pepper paste, balanced with the sour-sweet flavor of pomegranate molasses. Freshened with spring onion and parsley, kısır is served cold wrapped in lettuce leaves or in a bowl.
Place the fine bulgur in a large bowl and add some hot water; cover the bowl and let rest for 10 minutes so it fully absorbs the water.
Mix the tomato paste and pepper paste thoroughly with olive oil until loose, then add to the bulgur; knead until the pastes are evenly distributed over every grain.
Add the grated onion, spring onion, parsley, red pepper flakes and cumin to the bulgur mixture and knead firmly with your hands; the goal is for it to come together like dough.
Add the pomegranate molasses and salt and mix one last time, taste and adjust if needed. The consistency should be soft enough to clump together in your palm.
Shape the kısır with a spoon and arrange it over the washed lettuce leaves; if you like, drizzle a few drops of olive oil on top and serve immediately.
Important: Keep the bowl covered while letting the bulgur rest in hot water, otherwise it won't plump up enough and the kısır will stay watery. Caution: Add the tomato paste gradually, tasting as you go — too much increases both saltiness and spiciness. Allergen: bulgur is wheat-based and contains gluten. Kısır should be eaten the same day and not left at room temperature for long.
Kneading the bulgur thoroughly with the tomato/pepper paste before adding the pomegranate molasses ensures the kısır's flavor and color are evenly distributed in every grain.

Merhaba, evet fırın yerine tencerede de yapabilirsiniz, ateşi kısık tutmanız yeterli.
Basit ama nefis bir sonuç. Beklediğimden çok daha iyi çıktı. Sofrada hemen bitti, çok beğenildi.
