Orange Bulgur (Breakfast)
Posted on | September 17, 2008 |
If you’ve ever eaten at a Mediterranean restaurant, you’ve probably had bulgur wheat. It is the main ingredient in tabbouleh. It’s also commonly used as a side dish and makes a great, nutritious, substitute for couscous or rice in pilafs. One cup of (cooked) bulgur has 151 calories, 34 carbs, 8 grams of fiber and no fat.
We usually think of bulgur as a dinner time grain, but today I decided to try it in place of my usual oatmeal for breakfast. I made it in the rice cooker, but I am sure you could just as easily make this in a pan on the stovetop if you adjust the amount of water.
========== Orange Bulgur ==========
1 c uncooked bulgur wheat
1 3/4 c water
3 Tbsp orange juice frozen concentrate
1/4 c sunflower seeds
1/3 c dried cranberries (such as Craisins)
3/4 - 1 c soy milk (optional)
Add the bulgur, orange juice concentrate and water to a rice cooker. Start the cooker on the regular rice setting. Near the end of cooking, stir in the cranberries and sunflower seeds. Serve topped with soy milk or almond milk.
Nutritional Information per serving, before adding soy milk: 300 Calories, 7 grams fat, 9 grams protein, 55 grams carbohydrates, 11 grams fiber
