How Do You Cook With Bulgur Wheat?
Bulgur wheat is a quick-cooking grain made from wheat kernels that have been parboiled, dried and ground. When rehydrated it has a tender, chewy texture and a light, nutty taste, making it the perfect addition to soups, stews, salads, breads and meatless entrees. Bulgur is commonly used in Turkish, Middle Eastern, Indian and Mediterranean dishes, and makes a good substitute for rice or couscous. Step 1 Choose what size grind of bulgur wheat you will need for your recipe. Use fine grind for breakfast cereal, breads and desserts. Use medium grind for salads, stews, soups, meatless burgers and chili. Use coarse grind for stuffings, casseroles, vegetarian tacos and artisan bread. Use extra-coarse grind or whole-kernel for hearty soups, pilafs, and artisan bread. Step 2 Choose what method you will use to rehydrate the bulgur wheat. Soak your bulgur for a chewy texture. Use one part medium grind bulgur to two parts boiling water. Add boiling water to the bulgur and stir. Cover and let it sit
