Ingredients:

Serving

3/4 cup walnut halves (2 1/2 oz)
1/3 cup drained sun-dried tomato packed in oil, chopped , plus
1 tbsp sun-dried tomato olive oil , from the jar
1 cup medium bulgur (6 oz)
1 cup canned chick-peas, rinsed
1/2 tsp aleppo chili pepper flakes or 1/2 tsp pure dried ancho chile powder
1 3/4 cups boiling water
1 lb grape tomatoes, halved (1 1/2 pints)
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh dill
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 tbsp pomegranate molasses , dissolved in 2 tsp cold water

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°. Toast the walnuts in a pie plate for about 8 minutes, or until golden and fragrant. Let cool slightly, then chop coarsely.
Heat the sun-dried tomato oil in a large saucepan. Add the tomatoes and cook over moderately high heat for 1 minute.

Remove from the heat and let stand covered and undisturbed until cooled slightly, about 30 minutes.
Using 2 forks, fluff the bulgur. Add the grape tomatoes, pomegranate seeds, dill, mint and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
Transfer to a platter. Drizzle the diluted pomegranate molasses over the salad and scatter the walnuts on top. Serve warm.
