Basic Bulgur

Submitted by Becky 7

"Bulgur comes in different sizes and textures, but for the basic kind they sell in the bulk aisle where I shop, this cooking technique works perfectly. This can be dressed up in all kinds of different ways -- buy making it with stock instead of water, by adding sauteed onions, by throwing in chopped veggies and dressing at the end and making a salad; whatever. This is just the basic technique. You can change the amounts to whatever you want -- the important thing is just that you have twice as much water as bulgur."

Thank you for a good basic recipe. I used chicken stock and had finely milled bulgur so it didn't take as long. Thank you for my starter recipe for bulgur.
