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."

Time 15m

Yield 6-9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

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)

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Options:
  • Bulgur-Date Pudding Cake:
  • Pour the hot pudding into a buttered 8-9 inch square pan.
  • Cool it to room temperature.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  • Cut the pudding into 6 or 9 portions and set them on plates.
  • Hazelnut-Fig Pudding:.
  • Use hazelnuts instead of walnuts and figs instead of dates.

Steps:

  • Bring 1 cup salted water to a simmer. Remove from the heat and add 1/2 cup bulgur; cover and let sit 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then let cool. Toss with 4 diced Persian cucumbers, 2 cups diced honeydew melon, 1/2 thinly sliced small red onion, 1 cup crumbled feta, 1/4 cup each chopped fresh mint and dill, 1/3 cup olive oil and 3 tablespoons lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Soak the bulgur in water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to soften the grains and make them more digestible.
  • Use a fine-mesh sieve to drain the bulgur after soaking. This will help to remove any excess water and ensure that the pudding is not too runny.
  • Add the honey and dates to the bulgur mixture while it is still hot. This will help to dissolve the honey and dates and make them more evenly distributed throughout the pudding.
  • Serve the pudding warm or cold, garnished with additional honey and dates if desired.
