Since bulgur is partially cooked, preparing it for a meal is much easier than you might think. You can eat it on its own as a side dish to a main meal, or you can add it to salads, pastas, and soups.
Instead of boiling the bulgur, you simply need to soak it to rehydrate the grains. “To prepare it, add boiling water to the bulgur and let it sit for seven to 10 minutes,” Mathis suggests. “As the bulgur sits, the grains will soak up the water and become tender.” If you want to add more flavor to this whole grain side dish, swap the water for chicken or vegetable broth. Either way, this healthy food is ready to eat in less than 15 minutes.
