Bulgur is cracked wheat. It is parboiled and then cracked into small pieces. It comes in three sizes: the largest for pilaf, the middle-sized for cereal, and the smallest for tabbouli, a Middle Eastern salad. It has a nutty flavor and is very dense, which means it has more calories than the same size serving of some other grains. At the same time, it has lots of fiber and is very filling.
For Children used to instant rice (or "mush," as I call it) bulgur will be a shock. Try breaking them in slowly. Mix white rice and brown long-grain rice for a while. Then sneak in a little bulgur until your children get used to the brown kernels they need to chew!
1. Melt margarine in a medium saucepan. Sauté onion for 5 minutes. Add bulgur and cook for another 2 minutes.
2. Add stock and pepper. Stir. Cover and reduce heat to simmer for 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
