Ingredients
Instructions
-
Place the bulgur in a large mixing bowl. Pour the boiling water over the bulgur and cover the bowl. Let it stand for about 15-20 minutes until the bulgur absorbs the water and becomes fluffy.
-
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
-
Once the bulgur is ready, fluff it with a fork to separate the grains. Pour the dressing over the bulgur and mix well until the bulgur is evenly coated.
-
Add the chopped red onion, red bell pepper, cucumber, tomato, parsley, mint, and dill to the bulgur mixture. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
-
Taste the kisir and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
-
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the kisir for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Before serving, give the kisir a final toss and garnish with fresh herbs and a handful of pomegranate seeds for a pop of color and extra freshness.
