Swell the fine bulgur with hot water for 10 minutes and knead it with the pepper paste.
Shape the bulgur into small kofte, lightly wetting your palm so they do not crack.
Boil the kofte in water for 6 minutes and drain when they rise to the surface.
Mix the pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, olive oil, and red pepper flakes.
Place the kofte in a bowl with the sauce and greens, then serve with pomegranate seeds.
Let the bulgur kofte cool for 5 minutes after draining so hot kofte do not wilt the greens.
💡 Tip: Shaping the kofte into hazelnut-sized pieces helps them stay intact in the sauce.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the bowl cool, sprinkled with pomegranate seeds and parsley.
