Ingredients:

• 1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
• 200g cherry tomatoes (or any ripe tomatoes), finely chopped
• 1 red Romano pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
• 1 medium hot red chili pepper, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp pomegranate molasses
• 2 tsp pul biber (Aleppo pepper) or to taste
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the onion: Sprinkle the sliced onion with a little salt and let it sit for a few minutes to mellow its sharpness.
2. Chop the vegetables: Finely chop the tomatoes, peppers, and parsley separately, then combine them and continue chopping until the texture is between a salad and a dip.
3. Season: Transfer the mixture to a bowl and mix in the lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, pul biber, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
4. Serve: Enjoy immediately as a dip, salad, or accompaniment to grilled meats.

Tips:

• If your tomatoes lack flavor, add 1–2 teaspoons of high-quality tomato paste for extra depth.
• For a richer, umami-packed taste, replace pul biber with acı biber salçası (Turkish hot pepper paste).
