Bulgur porridge with milk

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook bulgur porridge with milk? Prepare all ingredients. Decide for yourself whether to rinse the cereal or not. Some sources recommend rinsing, but many articles skip this step. I think it would probably be best to rinse the bulgur and then dry it with paper towels to remove excess moisture to restore its crispness. I rinsed the bulgur under cool running water 2-3 times until the water became clear.

2. STEP 2

   

   Take a saucepan with a thick bottom. Pour milk into it, place over medium heat and bring to a boil.

3. STEP 3

   

   While the milk is heating, melt the butter in a hot frying pan.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour the bulgur into the oil and stir. Fry the bulgur over low heat until browned and slightly nutty, about 4 minutes. Stir with a spatula so that the cereal is evenly fried and does not burn.

5. STEP 5

   

   Now pour the fried bulgur into the milk and stir. Add salt and sugar to taste and stir. Instead of white sugar, you can use brown cane sugar, which will give the porridge a pleasant caramel flavor. Cook the porridge for 20 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally.

6. STEP 6

   

   When the bulgur becomes soft, turn off the heat. Cover the pan with a lid and leave the finished porridge for 10 minutes. During this time, it will infuse, absorb milk and become thicker.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the hot porridge on a plate and serve with a glass of warm milk or a cup of tea. If desired, bulgur milk porridge can be decorated with fresh berries, dried fruits, and any nuts (almonds, peanuts or walnuts). Bon appetit!

I also add finely chopped dried apricots and an apple to this porridge. My favorite breakfast! And if you cook bulgur in water, it turns out to be an excellent side dish!

For the first time in my life I cooked bulgur. Until recently I thought it was a type of rice. And imagine my surprise when I found out that bulgur is wheat cereal. I bought this cereal specifically to make bulgur porridge with milk. I was very interested in this recipe. It was the first step in getting to know this interesting cereal. I prepared the porridge for five servings. I washed the bulgur as recommended in the recipe, dried it on a paper napkin and fried it in butter. I really liked the nutty aroma that the cereal exuded during roasting. I cooked bulgur porridge with milk and half and half water. Sugar according to calculations turned out to be almost four tablespoons. I only added two, which was enough for my taste. Added half a teaspoon of salt. I cooked the porridge for 20 minutes. The bulgur cooked well and became soft. In appearance it reminded me of pearl barley. The porridge turned out to have a pleasant nutty taste. Very unusual! And delicious. Thank you for the unusual porridge recipe!

Bulgur, pre-fried in butter, really becomes much tastier. It’s a pity that I didn’t have fruit at home like the author of the recipe to decorate and enrich the finished dish, but the porridge turned out good even without them. Thank you, Vera.
