RECIPE TIPS
BULGHAR WHEAT
With a nutty texture, bulghar wheat is made by steaming, drying and crushing whole wheat. Don’t confuse it with cracked wheat, which is very hard, takes a lot of cooking and is more difficult to find. Look for different types of bulghar in Middle Eastern stores, especially wholegrain and high-fibre varieties, which still contain some bran. Substitute it where you would normally use couscous.
