    Once your bulgur soaks up all the sauce and is fluffy and ready, add in the pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, and the rest of the olive oil. Mix it well together, then add in the chopped vegetables and mix well again.

    5. Taste the bulgur at this point and make sure it is fluffy and chewy. If it isn’t, add more hot water and leave it for a few minutes.

  5. Serve and Enjoy!
