HOW TO COOK BULGUR WHEAT

Steps:

• Rinse 1 cup of bulgur and drain well.
• In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups of low-sodium broth (or water) to a boil. Stir in the drained bulgur and olive oil (if using). Season with a big dash of kosher salt.
• Allow the liquid to bubble again, then turn the heat down. Cover and let simmer for about 12 minutes or until the bulgur is tender and has fully absorbed the liquid.
• Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for another 10 minutes (leave it alone).
• Fluff with a fork and garnish with parsley before serving.

• Set it aside for 10 to 12 minutes to soak. Once the bulgur has soaked all the water, you can fluff it and serve it or use it in tabouli or otherwise.
