Bulgur wheat recipes?

Ladyluck1

Hi, got some cheap organic bulgar wheat from approved foods last week with the intention of using it in soups?
But what else can I do with it?
Thanks

Thanks for this thread, i'll be watching it like a hawk as I have some bulgar wheat to use up too

Doing a quick google search came up with this http://www.thekitchn.com/super-quick-meals-try-recipes-126245

and this looks good http://www.yummly.com/recipes/vegetarian-bulgur-wheat

Bunbury

I mainly use it as an accompaniment, like you would rice, with a few flavourings added e.g. saute some thinly sliced onion in oil/butter, add a few frozen peas or other veg you fancy, herbs and/or spices, then stir in your soaked bulgar wheat (I never bother to boil it, like some recipes call for, just give it a good soak in boiling water).

I often do all this in advance and then just ping it in the microwave to reheat when I'm ready to serve.

I like it with homemade kebabs sitting on top, with a drizzle of something like yoghurt, tahini, chilli sauce plus a crunchy salad on the side.

The mixture is also nice mixed with leftover chicken (or nuts for a vegetarian version) and an egg to bind, then baked in a loaf tin or on a tray.

Grimbal

I often use it in place of cous cous, and like Bunbury just rehydrate in boiling water with a stock cube added to it for a bit of flavour. Used this way, it's lovely as the carb part of your meal, say for example in place of rice with a chilli to accompany.

Another one of my favourite ways to use it is to make up a huge greek salad, then stir it through that. Just delicious on a hot sunny day, sitting outside for dinner soaking up the sun.......Ummmmm, on second thoughts, you may have to wait a while to eat this one !

I love it in salads with grilled chicken and/or feta cheese, roast peppers, mint, basil etc. and a good splash of olive oil.
Great for packed lunches as well.

I know it's an American site but here are some good recipes:

I would make this salad,and use bulgur instead of farro:

It is one of my favorite recipes with broccoli,- think I will change my dinner plans a bit and make this tonight

I do the following with it and use it as a side salad. It's very popular and people tend to come back for seconds. Plus it keeps nicely in the fridge so can be pre-prepped.

Juice one lemon or one lime and stir into the bulgar wheat. Add just enough boiling water to cover and allow to stand; it absorbs the water. Stir in random stuff like peas, or even pomegranite seeds. Season with pepper to taste.

It's a very easy and versatile grain to use.

When I did a vegetarian cookery course many moons ago, we made a bulgur wheat chilli and it was very nice.

I have tried googling for a recipe but cannot find a British one.

but I found this soup.
