Bulgur Wheat has a wonderful light nutty taste! It is a staple in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. It is a nutrient dense whole grain that is high in fiber and protein (but a little less than quinoa or Farro). It is one of my “go-to” side dish that is ridiculously quick to make: it takes all of 5 minutes! I also like to use bulgur wheat in my Stuffed Portabello Mushroom and my Mexican Stuffed Bell Peppers and my wonderful whole grain stuffing. Of course I love it in my Tabbouleh Salad.
I like to use Bob’s Red Mills Golden Bulgur wheat (click here for package and nutritional panel) but you can also use red or dark Bulgur wheat with the exact same basic prep!
Thank you for publishing this recipe! It is not on the Bob’s Red Mill bulgur package and yours is the only website I could find with the proportions listed. Looking forward to a yummy, healthy warm satisfying breakfast this morning!
My pleasure Susan! 🙂
