From: "Whole Grains Every Day, Every Way" by Lorna Sass. Adapted from a Jewish dessert. "It is a Sephardic pudding (alternately called prehito, moustrahana, and belila) that is common among the Jews of Turkey, who serve it to celebrate the fall holiday of Sukkot." "This dessert cooks in a flash and can be served warm or chilled. Leftovers make a delicious breakfast."

ingredients
- 1 cup fine bulgur (medium bulgur for a more coarsely textured pudding)
- 1 cup 2% low-fat milk
- 1⁄4 - 1⁄3 cup honey, to taste
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
- 1 cup pitted dates, chopped
- 1⁄3 cup dried currants or 1/3 cup raisins
- ice cream (optional) or sweetened whipped cream, for garnish (optional)
directions
- Combine the bulgur and 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to medium, and cook uncovered, stirring frequently, until the water is absorbed, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in the milk, 1/4 cup of honey, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking, uncovered, at a gentle boil, stirring occasionally, until the mixture develops the consistency of porridge, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the walnuts, dates, and currants.
- Sweeten with additional honey, if desired.
- Serve warm in bowls.
- Top with a scoop of ice cream, if you wish.

This recipe is quick, easy and delicious! I also modified this recipe to include soy milk and pecans. All of the various options given by "Engrossed" sound delicious! I need more BULGUR!! Thanks for all of your yummy recipes.Reply

It was super easy and a very nice change for dessert. We preferred it chilled and it was even better then next day.Reply

I love this and my grandchildren love this! I have a 5 gallon bucket of bulghur(don't ask) and this recipe is more than welcome in my slim repetoire of recipes using bulghur. I used soy milk instead of dairy and pecans instead of walnuts and sultanas instead of dark raisins and it was just wonderful. Thank you.Reply

I made this for my mom and I, for a morning treat. A treat it was indeed- so simple, and quick enough for a school day, yet so creamy and comforting! I halved it, getting two filling servings plus a leftover square (which is tasty as well, I'm eating it now!). I thought it would be overly sweet for breakfast, so I halved the amounts of dates and walnuts, only used about 1 Tbsp agave nectar (great sub for honey) and a small handful of dried cranberries in place of currants. This was just perfect! I'd like to have this again and am sure I will! Thank you!!Reply
