About this recipe
Kısır is a finely textured bulgur salad with a lively balance of tomato, pepper, herbs and pomegranate molasses. The bulgur softens in hot stock and absorbs the dressing, making the salad more flavourful as it rests.
Serve it as a light lunch, part of a mezze spread or a filling for crisp lettuce leaves. Keep the herbs fresh and add them shortly before serving.
