Kisir (Bulgur and tomato salad)

From Claudia Roden's "The new book of Middle Eastern food".

This dish reminds me of the more well known tabouleh -- the main differences being that this has noticeably less parsley and mint (a more pure starch salad as opposed to a starch-greens blend).

Lacking a couple of ingredients, I left out the minced green chili pepper and most of the scallions. Unfortunately, I think it suffered -- felt a bit flat/heavy. Also, I used #2 bulgur (fine-medium grain), which may have given it a slightly "mushier" consistency than desired. Still, I finished off the whole bowl after a couple of days with no problem.
