Info: Bulgur, Boulghour, Bulghur, Burghul

Bulgur is used to prepare an oriental filling from peeled, cooked and ground wheat grains. For the preparation of the “raw” bulgur, the peeled wheat grains are cooked until they burst. After draining, they are spread out in the sun to dry and then ground: Bulgur comes in three grain sizes: coarse – for e.g. kibba, kibbeh, kobeiba (Lebanon, Syria) – medium and fine – for e.g. tabbouleh.

Bulgur comes ready prepared in a dried state and is often prepared with minced mutton and vegetables. A very well-known preparation is tabbouleh (tabooly, tabooleh, tabouleh), an Arabic-Lebanese leaf salad in which the bulgur is mixed with parsley, onion, tomatoes and mint – the whole finely chopped – and marinated in olive oil and juice of a lemon.
