Steps:
- Heat the oil in a medium sized saucepan and sauté the onion to just take off the raw edge. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 secs or so. Add the cumin and chillies and cook for another 1 min. Stir in the tomato purée and 175ml boiling water. Add the bulgur, season, stir everything together, remove from the heat, cover and leave to sit for about 15 mins. The water should have been absorbed.
- Fork the grains to separate and aerate them, then add the tomatoes, walnuts, pomegranate seeds and herbs and fork them through. Mix the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil and pomegranate molasses in a small bowl. Add three quarters of this, then taste to see if it needs any more (if it seems well flavoured and moist enough, then leave it).
- The kisir can sit at room temperature for a few hours, or covered in the fridge - but let it come to room temperature before serving.

KISIR, A TURKISH BULGUR SALAD
Steps:
- Put the bulgur in a large mixing bowl. Pour the boiling water over it. The water should completely cover the bulgur by about 1/4 inch (add a bit more boiling water if needed). Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, then wrap it in a towel. Set it aside for about 15 minutes to allow the bulgur soften.
- While the bulgur softens, prepare your vegetables. Begin by peeling the onion and garlic and chopping them as finely as you can. Mix the chopped onion and garlic with the pepper paste and set aside.
- Chop the tomato, cucumber, green onions, parsley, and mint in the same manner and put them in a separate bowl. The finer you chop them, the better your salad's texture will be.
- Remove the cloth and cover from the bowl of bulgur. Wearing rubber gloves, fluff the bulgur up with your fingers. Drizzle lemon juice or pomegranate sour and the oil over the top and toss it through with your fingers. Next, add the pepper paste mixture and work it evenly through the bulgur.
- Add the chopped vegetables and herbs and continue tossing with your fingers until all the ingredients are evenly dispersed. Add salt and black pepper and taste for seasoning.
- You can serve your kısır salad right away, or you can cover and refrigerate it for several hours. Make sure to fluff it up with your fingers again just before serving.

- 1. Bulgar: In a large bowl, add the bulgar, salt, and boiling hot water. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and allow it to steep for 15-20 minutes. The bulgar should double in size.
- When ready, drain any excess water left in the bulgar, hopefully, the bulgar will be left dry and fluffy. Allow the bulgar to cool, now let’s make the kisir paste.
- 2. Kisir paste:In a mixing bowl, add the pomegranate molasses, tomato paste, red pepper paste, olive oil, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper, and mix really well until a thick paste-like sauce forms.
- Add the paste/sauce to the warm bulgar along with the onions and message generously with your hands. I like to massage for 2-3 minutes just to make sure every grain is fully coated to its full potential. Next, add the mint and parsley, mix and combine.
