For the Bulgur
1/2 cup Chopped Onion
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1/4 cup Lemon Juice
2 teaspoons Tomato Paste
2 teaspoons Pomegranate Molasses
2 teaspoons Red Chili Pepper Paste, or to taste
1 teaspoon Dried Mint
1/2 teaspoon Cumin
1 teaspoon Sea Salt
1/2 cup Bulgur #2 (medium grind)
For the Salad
1 1/2 cups shredded Red Cabbage
1 cup diced Tomatoes
1 cup chopped Parsley, loosely packed
2 stalks Green Onion, chopped
1 tablespoon Fresh Mint, roughly chopped

1
Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat and saute the onion until soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
2
Whisk together the lemon juice, tomato paste, pepper paste, pomegranate molasses, dried mint, cumin and salt until combined.
3
Add the bulgur and sauteed onions with the olive oil and stir to coat the bulgur. Set aside and allow the bulgur to soften and absorb all the juices, about 30 minutes. The longer it sits, the more flavorful it gets.
4
Toss together all the ingredients for the salad, then add the bulgur mixture and stir to combine. Allow to sit for at least 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to marinate.
5
Adjust salt and spice to taste and enjoy.
