Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mediterranean Veggie Bulgur Salad (Kisir).
Step 1
To start your delicious bulgur salad, grab a bowl and mix the fine bulgur with boiling water.
Step 2
Cover it up and let it sit for about 20 minutes.
Step 3
This is the perfect time for the bulgur to soak up the water and become tender.
Step 4
While that’s happening, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Toss in the chopped onion and sauté it until it turns soft and translucent, which should take around 5 minutes.
Step 6
Once your bulgur has absorbed all the water, drain any excess liquid and return it to the bowl.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to add a burst of flavor! Mix in the sautéed onion, along with chopped tomatoes, diced cucumber, vibrant green and red bell peppers, sliced green onions, fresh parsley, mint, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a little kick.
Step 8
Drizzle the salad with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and a touch of pomegranate molasses for sweetness.
Step 9
Gently toss everything together until it’s beautifully combined.
Step 10
You can serve this refreshing salad right away, or if you prefer, pop it in the fridge for a bit to let those flavors meld together.
Step 11
Enjoy every bite of this vibrant dish that’s perfect for any occasion!.
