Kisir (Turkish Style Bulgur Salad)

Hello there,

Today, we were invited to the birthday party of our friend's beautiful daughter. What I appreciated most was my friend made kisir although she was not Turkish. So, I decided to write a recipe and share it with her. Why not with you? It's totally vegan..

Kisir (Turkish Style Bulgur Salad)

1 cup fine bulgur

1 cup boiling water

1 tbsp red pepper paste

1 tbsp tomato paste

3-4 medium tomatoes

Fresh parsley

Fresh mint

2-3 green onions

1/3 cup virgin olive oil

1 lemon juice

1 tbsp pomegranate sour

Chili pepper powder

Salt

1)      Put the bulgur in a large mixing bowl. Add tomato and pepper paste to a big glass and add 1 cup boiled water. Mix well. Add this to the bulgur. Cover the bowl with a lid or cloth. Set aside and let it soak the water.

2)      Fine chop your vegetables.

3)      Drizzle olive oil, lemon juice, pomegranate sour to your bulgur. Add salt & chili pepper powder depending on your taste preference. Mix it well with a spoon until it combines properly.
