Bulgur porridge with milk

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to cook bulgur porridge? Prepare all ingredients. You can decide for yourself whether to wash the cereal or not. In some sources, it is still recommended to rinse, in many articles this stage is skipped. I think it would be right, perhaps, to rinse the bulgur and then dry it with paper towels from excess moisture to restore its friability. I washed the bulgur under running cool water 2-3 times until the water became transparent.

2. Step 2:

   

   Take a pot with a thick bottom. Pour the milk into it, put it on medium heat and bring to a boil.

3. Step 3:

   

   While the milk is heating up, melt the butter in a hot frying pan.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour the bulgur into the butter and mix. Fry the bulgur on low heat until brown and slightly nutty flavor (about 4 minutes). Stir with a spatula so that the grits are evenly fried and not burnt.

6. Step 5:

   

   Now pour the fried bulgur into the milk, mix. Add salt and sugar to taste, stir. Instead of white sugar, you can use brown cane sugar, which will give the taste of porridge a pleasant caramel notes. Cook the porridge for 20 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally.

7. Step 6:

   

   When the bulgur becomes soft, turn off the fire. Cover the pan with a lid and leave the finished porridge for 10 minutes. During this time, it will infuse, absorb milk and become thicker.

8. Step 7:

   

   Put the hot porridge on a plate and serve it to the table with a glass of warm milk or a cup of tea. If desired, bulgur milk porridge can be decorated with fresh berries, dried fruits, any nuts (almonds, peanuts or walnuts). Bon appetit!
