BULGUR MAPLE PORRIDGE

Bulgur works beautifully as a morning cereal. The best method for making this is to submerge the bulgur in boiling water the night before, then cook the reconstituted grains in the milk in the morning. Maple syrup is my hands down favorite sweetening for any hot cereal; as for additions, I love the crunch of cashews or pecans, and I also love diced dried apricots or blueberries, or both.

Time 15m

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup medium (#2) bulgur
Salt to taste
1 cup water
1 cup milk (1 percent, 2 percent, or whole, or a non-dairy variety, to your taste)
1 teaspoon unsalted butter (optional)
2 to 3 teaspoons maple syrup (more to taste)
1 ounce dried apricots (5 or 6), chopped
1/2 cup blueberries
2 tablespoons chopped toasted pecans or cashews

Steps:

  • The night before, place the bulgur in a medium saucepan with salt to taste (I suggest 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon) and stir to distribute the salt. Bring 1 cup water to a boil and pour over the bulgur. Cover with the lid and leave overnight.
  • Add the milk to the pot and stir together with a wooden spoon. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring often, or for a thicker porridge stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened like cream of wheat, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the butter, maple syrup and apricots or blueberries if including and continue to stir until the blueberries begin to pop and bleed into the cereal. Serve sprinkled with toasted pecans or cashews if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bulgur: Coarse bulgur is the best choice for porridge because it holds its shape well and doesn't become mushy. Fine bulgur can also be used, but it will result in a creamier porridge.
  • Toast the bulgur before cooking: Toasting the bulgur in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes before cooking it brings out its nutty flavor and aroma.
  • Use a flavorful cooking liquid: Water is the most common cooking liquid for bulgur porridge, but you can also use broth, milk, or a combination of liquids. Adding spices, herbs, or vegetables to the cooking liquid will also boost the flavor of the porridge.
  • Cook the porridge until it is tender: Bulgur porridge should be cooked until the bulgur is tender and chewy, but still has a slight bite to it. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Bulgur porridge can be served plain or with a variety of toppings, such as dried fruit, nuts, seeds, honey, or yogurt.

Conclusion:

Bulgur porridge is a healthy and delicious breakfast that is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and vitamins, and it can help to keep you feeling full and satisfied until lunchtime. With so many different ways to make it, there is sure to be a bulgur porridge recipe that you will love.
