Bulgur

BULGUR

Bulgur is made from wheat berries that have been steamed or boiled and ground into fine, medium, coarse, or very coarse grain. Don’t confuse it with cracked wheat, which is not parcooked.

KNOWING WHEN IT'S DONE:

The grains will be somewhat tender but still firm.

TIP:

Instead of simmering it in water, we often reconstitute fine- or medium-grain bulgur by soaking it in water flavored with lemon, lime, or tomato juice (use 2/3 cup of liquid for 1 cup of bulgur and soak for 60 to 90 minutes).
