Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 2/3 cups bulgur (dried cracked wheat)
- 1 1/3 cups cold water
- dried fruit of choice, chopped (I love craisins, apricots, raisins, papaya)
- nuts (pecans are yummy!)
- favorite spices (cinnamon or nutmeg work well)
- seeds (sunflower, pumpkin)
- brown rice syrup
Directions:
Add the bulgur to cold water, bring to a boil, and then down
to a simmer. Simmer in a covered pan for 12-15 minutes. I
love to cook it so that it pops out, a little like popcorn,
and is very moist like oatmeal. After it is cooked
thoroughly, add the dried fruit, seeds, and nuts...however
much you want. A handful of each, perhaps. It's your
recipe now. Add spices if you want. Then, put it in a cute
little bowl and drizzle it with plenty o' syrup. I must
admit I used honey, but brown rice syrup, corn syrup, or
maple syrup would all work very well. Serve hot! Leftovers
can be refrigerated, preferably without the syrup on top.
Eat leftovers within a couple days. Yum.
