Breakfast Bulgur

VegSocialWorker's Note:

From Vegpeople.com. Change the list of ingredients to suit your own tastes, keeping the ratio of bulgur to water. We liked it with walnuts, dried cranberries, brown sugar, a splash of milk, cinnamon and cardamom. The serving size depends on how much you eat. It served two of us perfectly.

• Total Time: 18 mins
• Prep Time: 3 mins

Directions:

1. Add the bulgur to cold water, bring to a boil, and then turn down to a simmer.
2. Simmer in a covered pan for 12-15 minutes.
3. After it is cooked thoroughly, add the dried fruit, seeds, and nuts, spices and syrup -- however much you want.

I was looking for something other than oatmeal for breakfast, and I was very happy with this selection. I made the bulgur as directed, but only added a bit of sugar-free maple syrup and some leftover cooked apples. I did put a pinch of salt in the cooking water. I don't think it needed anything else.

This is great! I just make it the same as i would oatmeal, with whatever I've got. Today it was bananas, a spoonful of brown sugar, raisins, and walnuts. Thanks for the idea AJO i think i'm going to be going though a lot more bulgur now.

I loved this! I toasted the walnuts and pepitas and also used dried cranberries, a splash of non fat milk and loved the cinnamon and ground cardamom. I used about a 1/2 tsp of maple syrup to finish it off, and this was a wonderful breakfast. Thanks for posting.
