Instructions

1. Pour boiling water over the fine bulgur, stir briefly and leave to swell for 20 minutes with the lid closed.
2. In the meantime, dice the spring onions, red onions, pointed peppers, tomatoes and cucumber very small. Finely chop the parsley, dill and mint.
3. Put the bulgur in a larger bowl and mix carefully with the tomato paste (salça), olive oil, lemon juice and pomegranate syrup. Add the diced, chopped ingredients and spices, season to taste if necessary, season and mix.
4. Arrange the bulgur salad in a large bowl, garnish with lettuce leaves if necessary and store in the refrigerator until serving. If stored in the refrigerator, the kisir can be kept for 3-4 days. Whereby after 2 days the kisir tastes even better in my opinion, because the spices and ingredients are then really pulled through.
