Breakfast Bulgur

"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."

  1. 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.
     
  2. 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.
     
  3. 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.
     
  4. My first experience with bulgur as a breakfast cereal without other grains. Pretty good, AJO. Course the more brown sugar I added, the more I liked it. Only change I'll make next time is to add a pinch of salt. I enjoyed it with dried cranberries, walnuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and soy milk.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live with my hubby and three feline children in Oakland by Lake Merritt. <br /> <br /> <br />My rating system: <br />5 stars if the recipe works without having to make changes (my own subs just for personal preference do not count) <br />*New Rule: If hubby says "mmmm" or "this is good" without me asking if he likes it, it automatically gets five stars <br />4 stars if the recipe needs a minimal amount of changing because the recipe does not work the way it was written or if overall it just didn't WOW me. <br />3 stars and below if the recipe just does not work or if the instructions are not written clearly enough to make it. <br /> <br />Please know that I will change your recipe to fit my diet. I mean no disrespect, but since I have to diet I have to do it. I refuse to limit myself to recipes that already fit my diet and like the challenge of changing already existing recipes to be healthier. I will leave out the oil, leave out or replace the cheese and milk with a non-dairy alternative, and use whole grains. I will also leave out meat and broth and choose vegetarian, low sodium versions/alternatives. I still rate recipes that I make these changes to. <br /> <br />But, if I use a recipe as inspiration only- meaning I got a great idea from it but changed it all around- I generally will not give any stars but will put a little note stating what I did. I love to give credit where credit is due. <br /> <br />I don't deduct stars if I personally do not like an ingredient in the recipe. I don't make recipes that I think that I won't like, which is why you will probably notice that most of my ratings are pretty high. I think it is silly that people choose to make recipes that include ingredients that they don't like then rate them poorly saying "I don't care for..." Anyway, you get the idea. <br /> <br />I've participated in <br /> <br /><img src="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap1/group04cherry.jpg" alt="" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap1/group09okra.jpg" alt="" /> <br /><img src="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap2/group02banana.jpg" alt="" /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap2/group12starfruit.jpg" alt="" /></p>
