Best Bulgur Wheat With Dried Cranberries Recipes
BULGUR PILAF W/ ALMONDS AND CRANBERRIES
I recently discovered bulgur and am a total convert! It has fewer calories, less fat, and more than twice the fiber than brown rice. It's a low on the glycemic index and high in folic acid. AND IT COOKS FASTER THAN RICE. So, if all that doesn't convince you, just try this simple recipe. It has a nice nutty flavor and makes a great side dish to pretty much anything.

WILD RICE AND BULGUR PILAF WITH DRIED CRANBERRIES
Got this from my mother, who told me recently (when I served her a 'Zaar bulgur recipe) that she'd never eaten bulgur before. But this recipe is on a yellowed, crumbling newspaper clipping, so I guess she meant to! We tried it and it's great.
