This one is one of the most favourite dishes / salads in Turkey. There are probably tens of variations and every single city has its own version. A lot of people enjoy eating this along with a freshly brewed Turkish tea! It's very easy to prepare. It's tangy and fresh. It might not be easy to find mild chilli paste (salca) and pomegranate sour but they make the difference on this dish. I hope you enjoy.

Steps

20min

1

Here are all the ingredients.
2

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 ;).
3

Wait for 10min for bulgur to get cooked.
4

Add chilli and tomato paste. Stir well until all the bulgur is reddish/orange colour.
5

Finely chop all the greens, add them and stir.
6

Add juice of 1 lemon, 2 table spoon of pomegranate sour, 4-5 table spoon of extra virgin olive oil.
7

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!"
