Bulgur Pudding With Honey and Dates image

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.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I would encourage you to experiment with different ingredients and flavors to make it your own.

I had some trouble finding bulgur at my local grocery store. I ended up using quinoa instead and it worked out just fine.

The pudding was a bit too mushy for my liking. I would recommend cooking the bulgur for a shorter amount of time.

I found this recipe to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less honey or dates next time.

This bulgur pudding is a great way to use up leftover bulgur. It's also a great make-ahead dish for busy weeknights.

I'm not a huge fan of bulgur, but this recipe changed my mind. The pudding was creamy and flavorful, and the dates added a nice touch of sweetness. I will definitely be making this again.

This is a great recipe for a healthy and delicious breakfast or snack. The bulgur provides a good source of fiber and protein, while the honey and dates add natural sweetness. I also like that it can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerat

I followed the recipe exactly and the pudding turned out perfectly. The texture was just right - not too mushy and not too firm. The sweetness of the honey and dates was balanced by the tanginess of the yogurt and the crunch of the walnuts.

This bulgur pudding was a delightful surprise! The combination of bulgur, honey, and dates created a unique and flavorful dish that was both hearty and satisfying. I especially appreciated the addition of orange zest and cinnamon, which added a touch
