Does anyone eat Bulgar Wheat?

I was told this is high in fiber and good for you....

If you eat it, can you give me some ideas on what to do with it?


Michelle.

 I haven't used it a lot, I like it but my spouse isn't wild about it, but I have made this dish.  Even my wife liked it!   www.runningtothekitchen.com/2012/04/bulgar-wheat-salad-with- orange-dijon-dressing/

*laughs*

I am SURE you did not mean to type "wide".

 yeah stupid me, she's slim and always has been.  but wife was the correct answer. 

Made me laugh right out loud. OOPS!

Bulgar I`ve had, it tastes like something Bulgarians would like. (ohhh I`m going to get mail!). I mean, it is a strong tasting grain, I think of it as good for ducks.

I don't usually, actually.  But have you tried quinoa?  It is AWESOME. Totally high in fibre and protein.

I second quinoa. It's one of my favorites.

I make an awesome quinoa salad. I haven't looked at too closely from a post op standpoint, but I suspect it'll be fine on my sleeve in moderation.

Quinoa Salad

2-3 cups cooked & cooled quinoa
2-3 diced tomatoes
4-5 chopped green onions
3 stalks chopped celery
1 bunch cilantro chopped
juice from 1-2 limes
1/4 c olive oil
sea salt to taste

That sounds delish!  Check out the ON recipe forum - there are quite a few REALLY good ones there too!

I eat it as a side dish instead of rice or potatoes.
I interchange any quinoa recipe with bulgar wheat.  sometimes I want a different texture and switch between quinoa or bulger.

make any of the quinoa recipes and replace the quinoa with bulger.

I am not a recipe girl, so I just mix in stuff that I like to eat with flavors that I like.
