What is Bulgur Wheat?
A staple in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean regions, bulgur wheat is a grain we should all get to know better. It’s a whole wheat grain that has been cracked and partially precooked, and it’s terrific in all sorts of side dishes, soup, pilafs, casseroles, and salads (grain salads and also added to green salads). It can be added to meat dishes like kibbeh and meatloaf, to boost nutrition and bulk them up. Many people have encountered this grain for the first time as the backbone of Middle Eastern Tabbouleh salad.

How to Cook Bulgur Wheat
Because it’s already partially cooked, bulgur wheat is quick and easy to prepare at home. Most types of bulgur wheat cook completely in less than 15 minutes, but different types require different cooking times, so it’s best to always check the package for instructions. In general, combine 2 cups of liquid and 1 cup of dry bulgur in a pot, bring it to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, covered, until the bulgur turns tender, about 12 minutes. Drain any excess liquid and fluff the grains with a fork before serving.
Though bulgur wheat is most commonly found in tabbouleh salad, you can use it just like rice or couscous, or any other whole grain, such as barley or quinoa. Instead of rice, try pairing your favorite vegetable stir-fry or vegetable curry with cooked whole grain bulgur wheat. It also makes a good binding ingredient in vegetarian or meat patties and balls, such as the Middle Eastern dish called kibbeh.
