A filling Turkish salad, this spiced bulgur and lentil salad is made by mixing whole-grain bulgur with green lentils and dressing it with a hot pepper ezme sauce. The bulgur base can be cooked ahead and frozen, ready to thaw whenever needed.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Boil the lentils

20 min

Boil the green lentils in plenty of water for 20 minutes until soft, then drain.

2

Cook the bulgur

15 min

Pour an equal amount of boiling water over the bulgur in a bowl, cover and let it steam for 15 minutes.

3

Prepare the dressing

5 min

Mix the pepper paste with the olive oil, pomegranate molasses and chilli flakes into a smooth dressing.

4

Toss and rest

5 min

Toss the warm bulgur with the boiled lentils, scallion and parsley in the dressing, adjust the salt, and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Reminder

You can double the bulgur base and freeze half; once thawed, just refresh the dressing before serving. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten, bulgur).

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Stirring the pepper ezme in while the bulgur is still warm lets the flavours work in more deeply; adding it after cooling leaves the aroma on the surface.

Biber ezmesi yerine acı domates salçasıyla dener miyim, tat ne kadar farklı olur acaba? Nar ekşisi miktarını da biraz artırıp ekşiliği daha da belirginleştirmek istiyorum, bu mantıklı olur mu?

Bulgur harcının yarısını dondurdum, bir hafta sonra çözüp tazeledim, tadı ilk günkinden hiç farksızdı. Sadece sosu servisten hemen önce eklemek gerekiyor, aksi halde bulgur suyu çekip kuruyor.

Bulguru demlerken üzerini tam kapatmadım, buhar kaçtı ve taneler gevrek kaldı, çiğnemesi zor oldu. İkinci seferinde kabı streç filmle sıkıca örttüm ve sonuç çok daha yumuşaktı.
