   Put the bulgur in a saucepan with a thick bottom, pour clean cold water (in the ratio of two glasses of water per one cup of cereals), put on a small fire. When the water boils, add salt, stir, reduce the heat to low and cook the bulgur for about 20 minutes until the water has completely evaporated. When this happens, pour a couple of tablespoons of olive oil into the pan, stir and let the bulgur cool.
