In a saucepan, multicooker and microwave, the cereal will turn out delicious and crumbly.
Bulgur is steamed, dried and crushed wheat. Many delicious dishes are prepared from golden cereals: side dishes, soups, salads, pilaf and even desserts.
How to prepare bulgur
Bulgur is usually not rinsed before cooking. If you still want to do this, put it in a sieve and rinse it lightly under running water. Then dry the cereal to make it more crumbly.
It is better to pre-fry the bulgur in butter or vegetable oil for 2–4 minutes. Take about one tablespoon of oil per glass of cereal.
Thanks to roasting, bulgur will acquire a light nutty flavor.
The groats can be fried in a saucepan with a thick bottom or in a skillet over medium heat, as well as in a multicooker bowl in the "Fry" mode.
Before putting the bulgur into the prepared dish, you can fry vegetables, such as onions and carrots, until soft. In this case, the cereals are boiled together with vegetables. They will make it even tastier and more aromatic.
How much water to take
Cooking liquid should be twice as much as cereals. That is, for 1 glass of bulgur, take 2 glasses of water, which must be hot.
How to cook bulgur
Keep in mind that when cooking, bulgur increases by 2–3 times. Therefore, choose the right size cookware.
In a saucepan or skillet
Pour the grits with water, add salt and stir. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and cook the bulgur for 15–20 minutes, until it has absorbed all the water.
In a multicooker
Add water and salt to the cereal and stir. Close the lid of the multicooker and cook the bulgur in the "Rice / Groats" or "Pilaf" mode for about 30 minutes.
In the microwave
Frying bulgur in the microwave, of course, will not work. So you can either omit this step, or do it ahead of time on the stove.
Place the bulgur in a glass or ceramic container. Add water and salt and stir. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes on maximum power. Then leave the container with bulgur in a closed microwave for 15 minutes.
What spices can be added
Rosemary, thyme, marjoram, paprika, curry, cinnamon and star anise will help to diversify the taste of bulgur. You can use other spices to suit your taste. They need to be added along with the salt.
