How to Make Kısır with Pomegranate Molasses (Kısır)
Place 2 water glasses (about 200 ml / 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp each) of fine bulgur (cracked wheat) into a lidded glass bowl. Add hot water until it just covers the bulgur, then close the lid and let it rest until all the water is absorbed. Once the water has been absorbed, add 1 heaping tablespoon of red pepper paste, 1 tea glass (about 100 ml / 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp) of vegetable oil, and 1.5 tablespoons of pomegranate molasses, then mix and blend thoroughly. Finally, add 3 chopped green onions, 1 handful of chopped parsley, 1 handful of dill, 1 dessert spoon of salt, 1 dessert spoon of Aleppo pepper flakes, and 1 teaspoon of dried mint, then stir to combine and transfer to a serving plate. Top with sliced red-fleshed radish, pickled cucumber, and small pickled hot peppers. Shape a rose in the center using the tomato skin. Enjoy…
