I was using our carb counter looking for bargains in the cereal/grain section and noticed bulgur at 14g ECC per 100 grams

So I bought some and tried cooking some as rice pilaf and it was really good :thup:

Not low enough for induction, but quite a bargain.

Was that for cooked or raw bulgar?

You certainly know how to live dangerously close to the edge! ;)

Have you purchased a grater yet?

Cooked and about half a cup, I think.

Not yet, but on the shopping list. You want me to try the cauliflied rice, right? :)

Oops! 'Ya caught me! ;)

Try frying it in olive oil until it smells nutty if you're making a pilaf type thing.

In the "olden days", I would put it into things like zucchini, lemon, mint and chicken soup as a thickener, or do a pilaf with cumin seeds, chilies and garlic. The proportion of 2 cups water to 2 cups bulgar is way off though. I always found it better with 1 1/4 cups water to a cup of bulgar. Better texture.

You could make kibbeh? I just love the raw lamb kibbeh eaten with radishes. Sigh...

Goodness!

Since you're here in the Kitchen forum, at the top of the page is Karen's Corner and in there is a conversational thread all about the Cauli-flied Rice recipe, including a direct link to the recipe itself (and this way you'll be getting used to navigating this great site, too). Enjoy!
