Kısır is a traditional Turkish bulgur wheat salad that is served as a side dish to a larger meal or as part of a course of small dishes that are shared tapas (or meze if you're Turkish) style meal. It also happens to be one of my favourite dishes. It's great as a snack in the summer or, as I tend to eat it, just for lunch with a little bit of yogurt. It's usually made with finely ground bulgur wheat, but I had a box of quinoa kicking around, and since I've become quite the fan of the so-called supergrain, I thought I'd do some experimenting. I must say I thought it turned out quite well.
