Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

  1. 1

    Place the fine bulgur in a large heatproof bowl.

    Aproximativ 1 min.

  2. 2

    Pour the boiling water over the bulgur, cover the bowl tightly, and let it sit for 20 minutes until the bulgur has absorbed the water and softened.

    Nota bucătarului: Ensure the water is truly boiling for best results.

  3. 3

    While the bulgur is soaking, combine the rinsed red lentils with the lentil water in a small pot.

    Aproximativ 1 min.

  4. 4

    Bring the lentils to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes until they are tender but still hold their shape.

    Aproximativ 12 min.

    Nota bucătarului: Do not overcook the lentils; they should not be mushy.

  5. 5

    Drain any excess water from the cooked lentils and set them aside to cool slightly.

    Aproximativ 2 min.

  6. 6

    Once the bulgur is soft, fluff it with a fork.

    Aproximativ 1 min.

  7. 7

    Add the tomato paste, red pepper paste, olive oil, lemon juice, ground cumin, pul biber, salt, and black pepper to the bulgur.

    Aproximativ 2 min.

  8. 8

    Mix thoroughly with your hands, squeezing gently to ensure the pastes and spices are evenly distributed throughout the bulgur.

    Aproximativ 3 min.

    Nota bucătarului: Using your hands helps incorporate the flavors better than a spoon.

  9. 9

    Add the cooled lentils, diced cucumber, diced tomato, sliced green onion, chopped fresh parsley, and chopped fresh mint to the bulgur mixture.

    Aproximativ 2 min.

  10. 10

    Gently fold all the ingredients together until well combined.

    Aproximativ 2 min.

  11. 11

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate the kisir for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Aproximativ 30 min.

    Nota bucătarului: Chilling improves the taste and texture of the salad.

  12. 12

    Serve chilled, optionally with romaine lettuce leaves for scooping.
