Kisir from Plenty (page 239) by Yotam Ottolenghi

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Made for cookbook club. Good, though not sure how much I like this grain. Happy to have tried.

    Good! Used 4 fairly large Lands Sake tomatoes -- maybe too much? (Not too tomatoey, but adds liquid / dilutes spices) (if use same amount tomato, can spice a bit more aggressively next time) Maybe use less liquid next time? A bit messy Could use more salt (prob used 1 - 1.5 tsp kosher salt) Used 4.4 oz container pomegranate -- could use whole Makes a lot! (2+ x meal for 3)

    Made Oct 2018. Tasty—would make again. Personally, I would cut back onions to 2/3 amount. I didn’t have pomegranate molasses, so used 1 teaspoon of tamarind and 1/2 teaspoon of agave. Other recipes use a Turkish pepper paste instead of tomato paste. It would be interesting to use the Turkish pepper paste if I can find it. I didn’t have pomegranate, but am sure it would be even tastier with pomegranate.

    Loved this! Used tomato paste to sub for the purée. 400 grams of bulghar serves at least 8, not the four listed on the recipe page. Served in Boston lettuce cups. NYEve 2013.

    Lovely. I put one clove of garlic instead of two, and as usual I needed twice the water for the bulgur to become tender. I couldn't find pomegranate molasses anywhere I'll have to try online. I wonder whether the taste changes much when they are added? Anyway, it's still really good even without it.

    The sweet of the onions, the heat of the chiles, and the tang of the pomegranate make it really, really hard to stop eating this. Love it atop some crisp salad greens.
