Bulgur wheat is a great source of fibre which helps maintain
a healthy digestive system. With only a
trace of sugar and fats in it, it’s a great healthy choice for lunch.
Bulgur wheat is not difficult to cook but I find I have to
cook it with the perfect water to bulgur wheat ratio or I can never get it
right. So I recommend you cook it as per
pack. My pack said to boil 5.5 cups of
water to every 1 cup of bulgur wheat.
1.
Start by boiling you water and
adding your bulgur wheat.
2.
To this I add a sprinkling of
chilli flakes; chopped red pepper; salt & pepper; and a good squeeze of
fresh lime (I use a whole lime!)
3.
With about 5 minutes to go, I add
my prawns. I use frozen prawns
that I get in Aldi. They’re great and I
always have a pack in the freezer. There
are 2 types…one you need to cook and the other is the pack that is ready to
just add. This is what I use. I take them from the freezer before time to
defrost them a little and then add them straight to pot.
4.
Stir occasionally and taste test
to see if you need any other seasoning.
5.
Once the bulgur wheat has absorbed
all the water, take of the heat and leave for a minute or two. Then with a fork, fork through the mix.
6.
Add some chopped fresh
coriander and ENJOY!
