Bulgur is a grain made from dried and crushed wheat. In Russia, it has only recently been talked about, although in the Middle East, the Balkans, and northern India, various dishes have long been actively prepared from bulgur. This grain can be used to make porridge, pilaf, soups, and even cutlets. Bulgur can also easily replace rice and serve as a tasty side dish. You can add satiety to this grain with chickpeas, and flavor and additional benefits with vegetables.
