As I had mentioned before, Julie got me a Vegetarian cookbook for Christmas. Contained within it's glorious pages was a recipe for Taboula, a dish made with Bulgar wheat and fresh vegetables. It is a light salad like dish.
anyway, I was interested in trying it, but I have no Bulgar wheat. So I looked up what it was and found that I could transform wheat berries into Bulgar wheat with a process involving steaming, baking and crushing the berries.
I decided to try it...what else was I going to do with a tub of food storage wheat berries and no wheat grinder....thanks mom.
SO the process began.
I soaked the wheat overnight in water, similar to this picture....
Then I boiled the wheat in 2x as much water needed(so as to avoid burning) on low heat for a good three hours. When I finished boiling it, I spread it out on a tray and then baked it for 30 mins in ten min, intervals, at 350*. It is now cooking on my kitchen counter, waiting for me to crush it, turning it into Bulgar wheat.
And then, I will make my Taboula. and it will be good. and I will post about it.
