Bulgur for Breakfast, Anyone?
Speaking of hot breakfasts for cold mornings, what do you think of bulgur for breakfast? We’re thinking this super-quick-cooking grain would be perfect for busy mornings this fall and winter.
The beauty of bulgur is that it’s technically already cooked. All we have to do is add hot liquid, let it stand for a few minutes, and it’s ready to eat. This makes it just as fast, if not faster, than instant oatmeal and definitely easier than a bowl of steel-cut oats.
We’re curious how the nutty, earthy flavor would do as a breakfast food. We’re used to pairing it with tomatoes, mushrooms, and lentils, and wonder if it would pair as well with milk, honey, and fruit. Of course, we could always keep it savory, but our usual breakfast tends to be sweeter.
We found a few recipes to get us started:
• Breakfast Bulgur Porridge from Martha Stewart
• Breakfast Bulgur with Pears from Food.com
• Bulgur Scrambled Eggs from Mr. Breakfast
