Bulgur in a multicooker

Bulgur is wheat processed in a special way. This results in a healthy cereal that can be included in the diet of those who are on a diet or suffer from diabetes.
How to cook Bulgur in a multicooker
Step 1

Place butter in the multicooker bowl and turn on the “Frying” mode. When the butter has melted, add bulgur and, stirring, fry for 1-2 minutes.
Step 2

Add salt, pepper and dried herbs to the cereal. Pour two cups of hot water (400 ml) over the bulgur and cook under the lid in the “Cereals” or “Rice” mode for 25 minutes.
Step 3

Check the readiness of the bulgur: the cereal should absorb all the water and become soft, but remain crumbly.
Step 4

Place the bulgur on plates and garnish with fresh herbs or tomato slices. Enjoy!
