I first had kisir in a Turkish restaurant in London a number of years ago. It was described on the menu as a Turkish tabbouleh with pomegranate, but it almost seems to sell it short. Kısır is one of our favourite Turkish recipes - an absolutely perfect bulgur wheat meze dish if you have a few friends coming round. Question: When is tabbouleh not tabbouleh?
Steps to make Kisir (Turkish bulgur salad):
- Here are all the ingredients.
- Put the bulgur into a large bowl. Add the hot water and stir. The water should wet all the bulgur and a little bit of water should be left at the bottom; that's the right amount ;).
- Wait for 10min for bulgur to get cooked.
- Add chilli and tomato paste. Stir well until all the bulgur is reddish/orange colour.
- Finely chop all the greens, add them and stir.
- Add juice of 1 lemon, 2 table spoon of pomegranate sour, 4-5 table spoon of extra virgin olive oil.
- Add a pinch of cumin (not much), a pinch of ground black pepper and depending on how salty the pastes are, a pinch of salt. And mix everything well. Kisir is ready!
- I enjoy eating this salad along with lettuce. In some variations lettuce is finely chopped into the salad too. You can try both! Enjoy! 😋😉 "Afiyet olsun!"
