2
Mix the swollen bulgur with olive oil, pepper paste, and sumac.
3
Finely chop the reyhan leaves and separate the pomegranate seeds.
4
Add the lemon juice and pomegranate molasses to the bulgur, tasting until the sourness is balanced.
5
Fold in the reyhan and pomegranate last, and serve before the reyhan darkens.
