This tangy-sweet bulgur-based salad, inspired by the Turkish dish called kisir, requires no cooking other than bringing water to a boil. We toss chopped onion and bell pepper with the bulgur before adding the boiling water to hydrate the grain; this eliminates the vegetables’ raw flavor and texture, yet allows them to retain just enough of their freshness and snap. Pomegranate molasses, a dark, tangy-sweet syrup with fruity, floral notes, is a common ingredient in kisir. Look for it in the international aisle of supermarkets or in Middle Eastern grocery stores.
Servings
Don’t use coarse or medium bulgur, as neither will soften properly. Also, don’t use concentrated tomato paste, the type often sold in a tube. Its strong flavor will overwhelm the other ingredients.
