Kisir is a popular Turkish salad of bulgur wheat, chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, spring onions, loads of fresh herbs, nuts and a hint of chili. In this classic Turkish salad the bulgur grains are not cooked but soaked and worked by hand to soften. It is important to use only aromatic sun-ripened tomatoes to give the dish flavour.
Instructions to make Kisir (Turkish bulgur salad):
- Here are all the ingredients.
- Put the bulgur into a large bowl. Add the hot water and stir. The water should wet all the bulgur and a little bit of water should be left at the bottom; that's the right amount ;).
- Wait for 10min for bulgur to get cooked.
- Add chilli and tomato paste. Stir well until all the bulgur is reddish/orange colour.
- Finely chop all the greens, add them and stir.
- Add juice of 1 lemon, 2 table spoon of pomegranate sour, 4-5 table spoon of extra virgin olive oil.
- Add a pinch of cumin (not much), a pinch of ground black pepper and depending on how salty the pastes are, a pinch of salt. And mix everything well. Kisir is ready!
- I enjoy eating this salad along with lettuce. In some variations lettuce is finely chopped into the salad too. You can try both! Enjoy! 😋😉 "Afiyet olsun!"
