Bulgur

Bulgur

Bulgur is made from wheat kernels (wheat berries) that have been boiled, dried and ground. It is available in four different "grinds" from course to fine and each type has different uses. It is quick cooking and has a tender, chewy texture with a nutty flavor. Bulgur (also called bulghur, burghul, or borghol) is very common in Middle Eastern cooking in recipes such as tabbouleh, pilau, and kibbe.

hint:

You can use bulgur as a meat replacement. Replace up to one quarter of the ground meat called for in a recipe with soaked and drained bulgur.

preparation:

To prepare bulgur: rinse in a sieve with warm (not hot) water until the water is clear. Place in a bowl with water (just enough to cover) and let soak for 30 minutes (or as directed on the package). Drain well before using. If you are going to be using the bulgur in a cooked dish you don't need to soak it (just rinse it).
