Otherwise known as Bulgar, course Bourgal is wheat that has been steamed or parboiled, dried and cracked. It therefore requires little preparation. The tender grain has a chewy texture and a light, nutty flavour. Packed with protein, bourgal is a rich in vitamin b, manganese, phosphorous and selenium.
Known for its use in tabbouleh, is commonly served as a protein in salads and a side with Mediterranean dishes.
To cook bourgal, use a similar method to rice and quinoa.
Combine 1 cup of bourgal with 1 and a half cups of water, cook on high until boiling and then cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes and fluff with a fork.
