My bulgur wheat walnut stuffing is SO good that you’ll want to eat it right out of the bowl, so just go for it! That’s exactly what my kids do! Now that they are all old enough, they make this old-time family favorite all the time in their own kitchens, without thinking twice about it. They just always have dry bulgur wheat on hand in their pantry (you only need 3/4 cup for this whole recipe, so a little goes a long way–here is a brand I like). It’s filled with nutrients: 100% wholegrain, veggies, walnuts and it can just be dinner, or a delicious side dish with your favorite meal. No fuss: It’s so quick and easy to make and it’s so yummy, satisfying and filling…and it does a mama’s heart a lot of good!

  Hi Fateha, Pearl couscous would be OK but the cooking time and amount of liquid needed would differ greatly. Also, I am not sure it would be as much of a stuffing consistency unless you used regular couscous. I am sorry I only just saw your comment now so I don’t think it’s very helpful to you by now!! But, for next time, I really recommend the bulgur wheat it is so worth it!!
  love,
  Catherine

I love stuffing! Can’t wait to try this recipe; so much healthier that bread-based. And, I’m sure, more flavorful too!
