Uncooked Bulgar Wheat |
"Bulgur is a quick-cooking form of whole wheat that has been cleaned, parboiled, dried, ground into particles and sifted into distinct sizes. The result is a nutritious, versatile wheat product with a pleasant, nut-like flavor and an extended shelf-life that allows it to be stored for long periods." --Sunnyland Mills
Each Monday this month I will share some of my favorite bulgur recipes, starting with my very favorite--Aladdin Cookies.
Aladdin Cookies
1/3 cup shortening (I use Coconut Oil)
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 1/4 cup flour
1 cup cold, cooked bulgur
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ginger
1 cup raisins
1 cup chopped nuts
Cream together oil and sugar; add egg and bulgur. Sift together dry ingredients and stir in. Add raisins and nuts. Drop on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Makes about 20 cookies.
**Note: Instead of greasing cookie sheets, I use parchment paper.
