Bulgur can be called one of the healthiest cereals, which is loved by many due to its simple cooking method.
How can you make this porridge truly tasty, healthy and at the same time balanced?
There are a few tricks that are worth looking at in more detail.
Which type to choose
Before you start cooking, it is important to choose the right porridge. The main ones include:
- thin;
- average;
- rude.
For "light" dishes, fine bulgur is better, and for traditional dishes - medium or coarse.
How to rinse
Washing the bulgur before cooking is key. It helps remove excess starch and dust, which allows you to get a more crumbly and tasty porridge. To do this, simply pour warm water over the kagu and rinse it thoroughly several times, the water should become clear.
The correct ratio of water and porridge
Typically, 1 cup of bulgur requires 1.5 cups of water. However, this ratio can vary depending on your texture preferences.
If you want more crumbly bulgur, you can add a little more water.
Using broth
For a richer flavor, you can use vegetable or chicken broth instead of just water. It will give the bulgur additional aromatic notes and make it even more delicious.
How long to cook
Bulgur cooks fairly quickly, usually in 10-15 minutes. But it is important to remember that after cooking it needs to sit under the lid for about 5 minutes.
This will help the grains soften further. However, it is worth remembering that undercooked bulgur can be dangerous for the body and even cause diarrhea.
