In the making of bulgur, wheat is parboiled, dried, and some of the bran is removed. Bulgur may be sold whole or cracked. Method of cooking are similar to those for cooking regular white rice and cooking time is about the same.
Cooked bulgur has a nutlike flavor and a slightly chewy texture.
You can use bulgur in many of the same ways you use rice. Stir bulgur into boiling water. Cover tightly and cook over very low heat 20 minutes. Do not remove cover while cooking. Copyright Information Copyright 1995 by the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois.
