Stuffed grape leaves with kısır are vine leaves wrapped around kısır, a Turkish bulgur salad. The filling commonly combines bulgur with tomato or pepper paste, herbs, lemon juice, and seasonings; ingredients vary by recipe.
To make stuffed grape leaves with kısır, prepare the bulgur salad first, soften the leaves if needed, then place a small amount of filling on each leaf and roll it up. Avoid overfilling so the leaves stay intact.
Stuffed grape leaves with kısır are usually served cold or at room temperature. The bulgur filling is prepared as a salad, so the wrapped leaves are generally enjoyed as a chilled mezze rather than heated like a cooked rice filling.
Stuffed grape leaves with kısır use bulgur salad as their filling, while many familiar grape-leaf dolma recipes use rice, often with herbs and oil. Kısır gives this version a tangy, herb-forward character and a different texture.
Either fresh or jarred grape leaves work for stuffed grape leaves with kısır. Rinse jarred leaves to remove excess brine; briefly soften fresh leaves in hot water so they bend without tearing when you wrap the bulgur filling.
The kısır filling in stuffed grape leaves with kısır tastes tangy, savory, and herbaceous, with a pleasantly chewy bulgur texture. Lemon or pomegranate molasses, tomato paste, parsley, and spices are common sources of its distinctive flavor.
Serve stuffed grape leaves with kısır alongside yogurt dips, cacık, fresh vegetables, or other cold mezze. Lemon wedges are a useful addition, especially if you want to brighten the bulgur filling just before eating.
Stuffed grape leaves with kısır can fall apart if the leaves are tough, torn, or overloaded with filling. Soften the leaves before wrapping, use a modest spoonful of kısır, and fold the sides inward as you roll.
Yes, you can make stuffed grape leaves with kısır ahead and keep them covered in the refrigerator. The filling can release moisture as it rests, so they have their best texture when served soon after preparation.
You can freeze stuffed grape leaves with kısır, but the bulgur filling may soften after thawing. Freeze them in a sealed container, then thaw them in the refrigerator and serve chilled; the texture is generally better when they are freshly made.

Stuffed grape leaves with kısır bring together tender vine leaves and kısır, a Turkish bulgur salad usually flavoured with tomato and pepper paste, lemon, herbs and sometimes pomegranate molasses. The leaves are wrapped around the salad mixture and gently cooked; recipes vary in their use of olive oil and seasoning.
Tangy, fresh and pleasantly chewy, they are generally served cool as a meze or as part of a shared spread, alongside other small dishes, salad or yoghurt. Bulgur and grape leaves contribute fibre and plant nutrients; a 100 g portion has 4.1 g of fibre. For a lighter meal, pair a few pieces with fresh greens rather than making them one of several oil-rich sides.
