You know by now, I’m a fan of bulgur (cracked wheat) I love to eat it cooked in a pilaf or raw in salads like the famous middle eastern Tabbouleh salad. But this turkish bulgur, I tried it first time when I visited Turkey . And I fell in love with it, and I have no idea , why I’ve waited so long to recreate it at home! So now I just made it the authentic way, I cooked it with chicken stock, you can cook it with vegetables stocks so you can have a vegetarian version or even with water for a vegan one. It’s mostly a side comes with kebab , but it’s great with yogurt too.
