Bulgur as a rice substitute
 

I was using our carb counter looking for bargains in the cereal/grain section and noticed bulgur at 14g ECC per 100 grams

So I bought some and tried cooking some as rice pilaf and it was really good :thup:

Not low enough for induction, but quite a bargain.

Wa'il

Was that for cooked or raw bulgar?

You certainly know how to live dangerously close to the edge! ;)

Have you purchased a grater yet?

Karen

l love bulgar!! i used to eat it all the time!

Cooked and about half a cup, I think.



Not yet, but on the shopping list. You want me to try the cauliflied rice, right? :)

Wa'il

Any interesting recipes?

Wa'il

I hear they use it in tabbouleh ;)

Oops! 'Ya caught me! ;)

Try frying it in olive oil until it smells nutty if you're making a pilaf type thing.

In the "olden days", I would put it into things like zucchini, lemon, mint and chicken soup as a thickener, or do a pilaf with cumin seeds, chilies and garlic. The proportion of 2 cups water to 2 cups bulgar is way off though. I always found it better with 1 1/4 cups water to a cup of bulgar. Better texture.

You could make kibbeh? I just love the raw lamb kibbeh eaten with radishes. Sigh...

Karen

Or yoghurt...... :yum:

Wa'il

Better than Brad Pitt with wings. ;)

Karen

Goodness!

Since you're here in the Kitchen forum, at the top of the page is Karen's Corner and in there is a conversational thread all about the Cauli-flied Rice recipe, including a direct link to the recipe itself (and this way you'll be getting used to navigating this great site, too). Enjoy!

OK, you are now my VERY BEST FRIEND!!!!!!! :thup:

I was spelling it wrong! Cali-flied rice! Got it!!!

Thank you sooo much!
