It’s a shame that bulgur cereal is not very popular in our country. Housewives have no idea how healthy and tasty it is, which makes it an excellent alternative to boring rice. Meanwhile, in many countries of the Mediterranean, East, India, and the Balkans, cereal dishes are included in the recipes of many national cuisines. In Cyprus, even wedding pilaf is prepared from bulgur.

In our family, croup is treated with respect. We don't cook as often as we need to. But when we think about proper nutrition and healthy dinners, recipes based on bulgur always come to mind.

Chicken with bulgur in the oven

Chicken baked with bulgur in the oven turns out to be very tasty; it’s not even clear what tastes better – the meat or the side dish.

Well, the chicken turns out boiled on the bottom and baked on top - otherwise, nothing special, just excellent juicy meat.

To ensure that the chicken acquires some original flavor or becomes even more tender and aromatic, it is best to marinate it in any way a couple of hours before baking.

Wash the chicken, remove the skin if desired, rub each piece with salt and spices and let sit for an hour or two. You can add finely chopped onions and crushed garlic, but this is optional. 2. Grease a baking dish (in this case, a cast iron frying pan) with vegetable oil. Add bulgur. It doesn't matter which measuring cup you use (160g, 200g or 250g).

Chop carrots and onions into small cubes.

Fry carrots and onions in vegetable oil in a hot frying pan for about a minute - the vegetables will be saturated with oil and lose a little volume.

Remove the seeds and stems from the pepper, chop into squares, add to the onions and carrots, mix, and keep on the fire for a minute.

Pour bulgur into the pan - do not rinse, this grain is always obviously processed.

Salt and pepper to taste, add chopped garlic and pilaf seasoning, fry for a minute, stirring constantly.

Place the bulgur with vegetables in a heat-resistant form and level with a spoon.

Useful tips

1. To prepare soup, experienced chefs and nutritionists recommend using coarsely ground grains and finely ground grains for side dishes.
2. Before cooking, it is advisable to fry the bulgur a little in a pan with oil. This will give the dish a “nutty” aroma.
3. For frying, butter, ghee or olive oil is used.
4. To prepare cereals, add water so that they are in a 1:2 ratio. This way the liquid will be completely absorbed into the cereal.
5. Cooking time for bulgur is approximately 20 minutes. Try not to overcook it, otherwise it will lose its taste and aroma.
6. Dishes made from this grain turn out more flavorful and soft when cooked in a slow cooker.
7. When preparing a salad, the grain does not need to be cooked. To do this, just leave the bulgur in water, where it will swell.
8. Cereals should be stored away from direct sunlight and high humidity. It is recommended to use airtight glass containers.

Bulgur with vegetables is perfect for people who lead a healthy lifestyle and maintain proper nutrition, due to the content of valuable vitamins and microelements.
