What are the ingredients for kısır? Tips for making the perfect kısır

An essential for tea times and friendly gatherings, kısır stands out not only for its flavor but also for its nutritional value.

It is possible to prepare and serve kısır within half an hour.

KISIR INGREDIENTS

2 cups fine bulgur
1.5 cups hot water
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon pepper paste
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tea glass extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon chili flakes
1/2 bunch parsley
5 stalks green onions
Pomegranate molasses
1 teaspoon salt

HOW TO MAKE KISIR?

Mix 1.5 cups of hot water and 2 cups of fine bulgur in a heat-resistant mixing bowl.
You can add the 1 teaspoon of salt from the ingredients list to the hot water so that the salt distributes evenly and integrates with the bulgur.
If your heat-resistant bowl has a lid, cover it at this stage, or cover it with plastic wrap and let it sit for a while for the bulgur to swell.
Add the olive oil, tomato paste, and pepper paste to the bulgur and mix until well combined.
After the oil and pastes are thoroughly mixed with the bulgur, add the lemon juice and pomegranate molasses and mix a little more.
At this stage, you can taste the bulgur and add more salt if you wish.
You can add the washed and chopped parsley and green onions to your kısır.
If you like, you can add mint, lettuce, or finely chopped cucumber to the kısır in proportion to the amount of kısır.
