Instructions

Add the bulgur, Aleppo Pepper, tomato paste, and diced yellow onion to a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper, mix for a couple minutes so everything is mixed thoroughly. Pour the hot water on top and let it sit for about 10 minutes. All the water will be absorbed by the bulgur.

Next dice up a jalapeno, a few roma tomatoes, lots of parsley, and green onion. Add them to the bowl with a generous amount of pomegranate seeds.

Add lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, and olive oil to the bowl and mix well.

Finally let it sit in the fridge for 20-30 min so the flavors melt together nicely. Serve with romaine lettuce and enjoy.
