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.

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.

[email protected]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.
