7 dishes you should make if you love burghul

Burghul, or bulgur, is a kind of dried cracked wheat, oftentimes compared to quinoa, the grain that had everyone in the nutrition world going crazy when it first became popular.

With extremely high levels of both fiber and protein, this cracked wheat is a great alternative to rice and pasta for those looking to trim off a few pounds.

In fact, some of the most delicious meals are made with burghul. The best part of all is that these 7 things are SO easy to make!

A fan of banadoura? Then you just have to try this recipe . I advise you to grab a radish and green pepper on the side, just for some additional flavor (not that the dish really needs any). YUM.

Some people prefer their mujadara with rice, but others (like myself) prefer it with burghul. If you're looking for an alternative to the normal mujadara (mdardara as some people call it), try this recipe for a change.

This burghul in yogurt is as easy as it sounds. And don't be fooled by the name, it really is delicious, especially if you're a fan of yogurt. If you're looking for an easy homemade snack or light dinner, I recommend you try this recipe .

The hardest part about making tabbouleh is probably chopping those parsley into tiny bits and pieces. But, once the hard part is over it really is an easy to make salad. Get your burghul, tomatoes, olive oil and parsley ready... and try this simple recipe . Oh, and don't forget the lemons.

Kibbeh is just the perfect combination of ground lamb and burghul that can be eaten in all its forms, raw ( kibbe nayye ) or cooked ( kibbe bl sayniyeh ).

Basically take your traditional wara enab, koussa, batnenjan recipes and replace the rice with burghul. Trust me, it's delicious.

Try this burghul, feta cheese and pine nuts salad if you're not sure what to have for dinner today. You could even try something a bit more filling like a salad with burghul and chickpeas .
