Some people call me the "Queen of Wheat" because I'm always telling them how to use it in creative ways. This tasty bulgur rice salad was a hit with my family. I often add cooked chicken or seafood to turn it into a main dish. -Brenda Tew of Shelley, Idaho

Yield 4-6 people

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup bulgur, rinsed
½ teaspoon salt
4 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon sugar *
1 tablespoon honey *
½ vanilla bean, split open (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)

Steps:

  • 1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Add the bulgur and salt; reduce the heat to medium and simmer, partially covered, for 30 minutes. Drain the bulgur in a strainer and return it to the pot, off the heat. Cover tightly and let set for 10 minutes. 2. Add the milk, sugar, honey, and vanilla bean to the pot with the bulgur. (If you're using vanilla extract, add it just before serving.) Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer until the milk is reduced and the rice is creamy, about 30 minutes. If you're using vanilla extract, stir it in now. If you're planning to eat the pudding warm, serve it now. If you're planning to eat it cold, transfer it to serving dishes to chill. *If you plan to serve this for dessert instead of breakfast, double both the sugar and the honey.

Bulgur Pudding With Honey and Dates image

From: "Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way" by Lorna Sass. Adapted from a Jewish dessert. "It is a Sephardic pudding (alternately called prehito, moustrahana, and belila) that is common among the Jews of Turkey, who serve it to celebrate the fall holiday of Sukkot." "This dessert cooks in a flash and can be served warm or chilled. Leftovers make a delicious breakfast."

BROWN RICE AND BULGUR



Brown Rice and Bulgur image

I don't remember where I found this, but it's a staple around our house now. It's chewy, kind of nutty, and very filling. It's also very easy (as long as I think about it at least an hour before I need it!) It's an easy side dish as is, upgrades easily to a pilaf (see directions below), works well under meats and sauces, leftovers go great in soup, and it is even good with a little sugar, cinnamon, and cream over it for breakfast or dessert! So many possibilities with so few ingredients. ;o)

Yield Makes 8 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 quarts water
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup bulgur (cracked wheat)
1 cup wild rice
2 medium leeks (white and pale green parts only), cut into 1/4-inch dice
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup finely chopped onion (1 large)
1 cup diced (1/4 inch) carrots (about 2)
1 cup diced (1/4 inch) celery (about 2 ribs)

Steps:

  • Bring 2 quarts water with 2 teaspoons salt to a boil in a 3-quart saucepan. Put bulgur in a large bowl, then pour half of boiling water over it and soak, uncovered, until tender, about 1 hour. Add wild rice to water remaining in pan and simmer, covered, until tender and grains are split open, 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
  • Drain bulgur and wild rice together in a large colander.
  • Wash leeks in a bowl of cold water, agitating leeks, then lift out and drain in a sieve.
  • Melt butter in a 3- to 4-quart wide heavy saucepan over moderately low heat. Add leeks, onion, carrots, celery, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in rice and bulgur and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bulgur: Coarse bulgur is the best choice for this recipe, as it will hold its shape better during cooking.
  • Soak the bulgur: Soaking the bulgur before cooking will help to soften it and reduce the cooking time.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use to cook the bulgur will add a lot of flavor to the dish, so choose a broth that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Don't overcook the bulgur: Bulgur should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked bulgur will be mushy.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: Once the bulgur is cooked, you can add your favorite mix-ins, such as nuts, dried fruits, or spices.

Conclusion:

Bulgur rice pudding is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a good source of fiber and protein, and it is also relatively easy to make. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious bulgur rice pudding that everyone will enjoy.
