Jamie, add more vids with this woman. She's real and that's rare these days. Refreshing!

[@kerryanndunlop]

Thank you! xx

I'm so glad you saw my comment! I could watch Kerryann, Generro and you - Jamie with his hands mashing food about - 'till the cows come home. Enough of these holier-then-thou, gold-plated chefs. I want to watch a person who I'd love to cook WITH. (But that Generro? He might be larger than life itself.)

I do this with spring onions instead of red onions I think it tastes better that way. I also add some pomegranate syrup and a little bit of red pepper paste. Tomatoes make it watery after a while, so if you're not going to finish it all at once I suggest not to put tomatoes ;) Been making this for 14 years, oh and I'm Turkish :)

[@kerryanndunlop]

Sounds great! xx

Hello from Istanbul Turkey :) as beautiful as this recipe looks, it is not very traditional Turkish kısır (we call this kısır. Here, couscous is more like a round pasta dish) we usually put loads of herbs especially spring onions, and organic pomegranate syrup is a must. we eat tomatoes, cucumber, fresh rocket, and lettuce as a side. Also we add many many spices such as dried sumac, cumin, mints, even cinnamon sometimes. But I will try your recipe as soon as possible, it looks very fresh and yummy, and also very diet friendly :)

[@HAIRHOLIC_1]

Couscous salad is literally my go to dish when I can’t be bothered to cook and it tastes amazing

[@Haticesahin70]

We call this kisir and we saute a onion with the dried herbs and tomato puree and add that to the couscous with some oil. It tastes amazing

[@heroinathekitty7576]

Hatiess no use tomato puré is bad if is no coking

[@ekimaydn7206]

Thank you for sharing this Turkish favorite, there are variants in the Levant too. Everyone tweaks recipes acc. to taste. My two tips are; I fry the tomato puree in virgin olive oil with the onion because it is easier on my stomach and takes away the raw taste of puree. You can change up the greens (or replace onions with spring onions too) but do not cut short on the mint. Lastly, serve with a bunch of washed ice lettuce leaves, use the leaves like spoons and bite into it, lovely.

[@Shea11bee]

Ekim Aydın We do not have couscous here, wondering if can swapped it with Quinoa 🤔

[@ekimaydn7206]

pa ola I think it would work. In fact I will try as well!

[@CIOTL]

Couscous is not turkish, it’s a tradional north african meal. Don’t you dare call this couscous

[@ekimaydn7206]

Bulghur is a Turkish word that means crushed parched wheat. It is the basis of this and many meals. We have been eating it for 4 millenia in Anatolia, so I do dare to contribute my recipe.

[@ellie-tk4jy]

@CIOTL get over yourself bloody racist

[@burgleturt]

This was a hit at a dinner party I hosted, and now it’s in our regular salad rotation! Super easy to customize (I use a quarter of a sweet onion instead for a more mild taste, and put in more tomato purée)

[@violiniistt]

We call it "Kısır" and it's a real summer dish. I really enjoy with plane yogurt and some hot pepper flakes because i love it when it's spicy :))

[@kerryanndunlop]

I love it with Cacik, Patlican Salata and hot crispy pitta. Heaven.

[@violiniistt]

[@strawdinaryfem]

Allo darlin. Looooved this recipe. I'm always looking for alternatives to potatoes and pasta and this hits the spot. Only thing I did different was to add the lemon zest as well as the juice. It gives little burst of lemon flavour through the couscous which we loved. Thanks for the recipe and 'ave a goodun. Cheers, from Gyll in New Zealand

[@jengl4401]

We made this tonight. It was SO soooo good. Holy crap. Feta or any crumbly cheese is a MUST! My husband and I are not fans of tomatoes, but we are trying. We decided to get some baby tomatoes and cut them up into tiny bits. We couldn't taste them at all but still got that nutrition. We're kinda picky about tomatoes, so I'm happy that went well. I was prepared to take them all out!

[@aaaalyaaaa]

Amazing recipe ! So easy and tasty, can't wait to do it, I love couscous very much

[@cevdetustunn]

We call it 'kısır', rather than couscous. Greetings from Turkey..

[@ginduf]

this looks really great! my husband is gluten sensitive so i make something like this with quinoa but i really like the use of all of the different herbs in yours. i have some dill growing i might want to try adding too (i should have bought the mint plants that i saw at the store when i bought the dill... next trip i will). i also like the little addition of tomoto paste, i'll have to keep that in mind. i was thinking when you mentioned using feta (i make a dandilion potato salad i used to use feta in until i went vegan) that i might try sprinkling some capers on it... NEW IDEAS! \o/ always wonderful!

[@kerryanndunlop]

Dill would be awesome in this salad!!! Also, mint grows like crazy so be sure to keep it in a pot, or it will take over your garden! xx

[@stevejessemey8428]

Fantastic video. I will definitely try this. Thank you so much 😊

[@eylemkeskin]

Now I'm doing a favor for all you guys and write the original not-inspired recipe of "kısır" ! First of all we don't use couscous we use the finest "bulgur" and it has a measurement of course. If you add a cup of it you need to add two cups of hot boiled water and of course put 2 tbs of tomato paste and 1 tbs of sweet pepper paste into the water so that you can mix them all together. Let them sit for 10-15min meanwhile chop a bunch of parsley and green onions. I personally don't like tomato in it but you can add if you want also I like cucumber and pickles. Add 1/2 cup of virgin olive oil and if you want squeeze some garlic and one lemon in it. Don't forget to add some salt and pepper to taste but that's all. Eat with celery and pomegranate sauce. Bon apetit !

[@eylemkeskin]

ohh I forgot to say add a bunch of fresh chopped mint!

[@GenevieveThornton]

Arch Beauty I love your tips! I'm going to try them. So the coarse bulgur you mentioned, is that the same type used in tabouli? Also, you mentioned adding celery and pomegranate syrup, is that added into the recipe, or as a garnish? Thanks!

[@eylemkeskin]

Genevieve you take a celery leaf and put some of your mixture into it and add some pomegranate sauce on top, then roll and eat altogether. Bulgur is actually wheat but you boil the wheat then you dry it. That's how it is produced. It has various sizes depending on the stone grater adjustments. Bigger bulgur is better for rice, the medium ones better for rolls and stuffed peppers, the smaller ones are best for salads and cig kofte(some type of meatball).

[@GenevieveThornton]

Arch Beauty awesome! Thank you so much! I'm going to make it this wknd and let you know how it comes out! Thx again 😊

[@mrduckboibones]

"It's inspired by my best friend... who taught me who to make it"

[@nurtenozkoray]

Thank you Kerryann for this recipe. It is a dish from South-Eastern region of Turkey and they usually add red pepper paste and pomegranate molasse as well. I use white onion after slicing thinly and rubbing with salt and squeezing the bitter juice.

[@jakubbara2509]

It looks absolutely perfect !

[@eleafeats]

love it!! i always use bulgur instead of couscous but I think it doesnt make a huge difference :)

[@kerryanndunlop]

I love it made with Bulgur too, and thats how I learned, but I made it with cous cous here, because not everybody can get Bulgur. xx

[@EvelineUK]

Kerryann Dunlop Bulgar and couscous are often hidden away in supermarkets. Try the 'world foods' section or where they keep the dried beans.

[@BlaBlaTalkin]

Actually it does. Bulgur is made of wheat and Couscous is made of cornflower and theres a huge difference in its tastes. Bulgur is usually used in fired and baked dishes like “Kobbeh” in Arabian culture it has a rough grain so you can shape it like balls, while Couscous is used for salads and sweet plates. Although “Tabbouleh” which is considered as salad is made with Bulgur but i dont mind replacing it with Couscous in this matter since Couscous has a milder taste.

[@Sam-gn6og]

Since when Turkish have couscous.....Couscous is North African, mainly Moroccan

[@ramiamellal6853]

It's not maily Moroccan. It's just north african . And algerians have baklava so it's logical if the turks have couscous.

[@Sam-gn6og]

@@ramiamellal6853 The way it's prepared, it's like you put Baklawa in a Soup. Couscous dish has a way of preparation, to see it done this way is an insult to Morccan in particular and North African traditions in general.
