Boiled bulgur
Boiled bulgur is a healthy and unusual side dish for those who watch their diet and figure. Its caloric content is less than 100 kcal, so you will definitely not gain weight. Like any cereal, bulgur is a hearty dish, rich in fiber and “long” carbohydrates, with which you will feel full for a long time.
How to cook Boiled bulgur
Step 1
Pour 2 cups of water into a saucepan or stewpan and bring to a boil. Then add bulgur, salt and pepper. Cook under a lid on low heat for 15 minutes.
Step 2
Turn off the heat, stir the bulgur and leave it covered for another 15 minutes. The cereal should absorb all the water and swell.
Step 3
Place the cooked bulgur on plates and serve. Enjoy!
Boiled bulgur - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage
Yes! Using vegetable or chicken broth instead of water adds depth to the bulgur. Adjust salt accordingly since broth contains sodium.
Store cooled bulgur in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Reheat with a splash of water to restore moisture.
No, bulgur is wheat-based and contains gluten. Try quinoa or rice as gluten-free alternatives.
Absolutely! Freeze in portions for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat with a bit of water or oil.
Stir in sautéed veggies, chickpeas, or feta cheese. Drizzle with olive oil or lemon juice for extra zest.
This likely means it needed more liquid or time. Add ¼ cup hot water, cover, and let sit for 5-10 more minutes.
Yes! Use a 1:2 ratio of bulgur to water (just like the stovetop method) and select the ‘white rice’ setting.
No, bulgur is high in carbs. For keto, try cauliflower rice or hemp hearts instead.
It’s already vegan! Just avoid animal-based additions like butter or cheese. Try nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
Microwave with a damp paper towel or reheat in a pan with a tablespoon of water to prevent drying out.
