Bulgur Maple Porridge image

Bulgur works beautifully as a morning cereal. The best method for making this is to submerge the bulgur in boiling water the night before, then cook the reconstituted grains in the milk in the morning. Maple syrup is my hands down favorite sweetening for any hot cereal; as for additions, I love the crunch of cashews or pecans, and I also love diced dried apricots or blueberries, or both.

Time 15m

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup medium (#2) bulgur
Salt to taste
1 cup water
1 cup milk (1 percent, 2 percent, or whole, or a non-dairy variety, to your taste)
1 teaspoon unsalted butter (optional)
2 to 3 teaspoons maple syrup (more to taste)
1 ounce dried apricots (5 or 6), chopped
1/2 cup blueberries
2 tablespoons chopped toasted pecans or cashews

Steps:

  • The night before, place the bulgur in a medium saucepan with salt to taste (I suggest 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon) and stir to distribute the salt. Bring 1 cup water to a boil and pour over the bulgur. Cover with the lid and leave overnight.
  • Add the milk to the pot and stir together with a wooden spoon. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring often, or for a thicker porridge stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened like cream of wheat, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the butter, maple syrup and apricots or blueberries if including and continue to stir until the blueberries begin to pop and bleed into the cereal. Serve sprinkled with toasted pecans or cashews if desired.

This porridge was really easy to make and it turned out great! I used almond milk instead of regular milk and it was still very creamy. I also added a few chopped dates for some extra sweetness.

This porridge was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I would use less maple syrup or add some tart fruit to balance out the sweetness.

I'm not a huge fan of bulgur, but I really enjoyed this porridge. The maple syrup and spices really helped to balance out the flavor of the bulgur. I would definitely make this again.

This porridge is a great way to use up leftover bulgur. I usually have some leftover from making tabbouleh, and this is a great way to use it up. The porridge is creamy and flavorful, and I love the addition of the maple syrup and spices.
