Do You Need to Wash Bulgur Before Cooking: Cooking the Chef's Way
There is no need to wash or soak bulgur before cooking, like other types of grain, and there are reasons for this.
First, let's figure out what bulgur is.
This is nothing more than pre-dried and crushed premium wheat, scalded with boiling water. This cereal has a low glycemic index, is rich in fiber and minerals.
In appearance, bulgur resembles steamed rice and is often used to prepare pilaf, risotto and soups.
Since bulgur is produced by heat treatment (scalding with boiling water), it does not need to be washed.
To get a fragrant porridge, the grains should not be washed or soaked, but rather lightly fried in vegetable oil to reveal their subtle nutty aroma.
To prepare bulgur the Chef's Way, follow these steps:
1. Grease the bottom of the pan with vegetable oil and heat the grains for a few minutes until a characteristic aroma appears.
2. Fill with cold water and let cool.
3. Cook the cereal.
