My mother has two obsessions: Ludwig Beethoven Fifth Symphony and the love of creative puddings or porridges.
She can turn any type of grains and most roots into delicious puddings or creams for breakfast and dessert! A Few ones I came to expect on some extraordinary occasions or situations.
She always made the bulgur wheat pudding for the end of the year exams period! She said it feeds
the brain! I always enjoy it and eat it! Who am I to argue with a Beethoven lover?
My mother is not vegan, so I had to modify it before sharing it with you. Please give a try! It is super tasty. Unfortunately, it won’t be any help to your brain for your exams. You just have to hit the books!

Toss it with some beans, add some tacos seasoning for some delicious lettuce cups.
Eat it just boiled in water or vegetable broth with avocado and some greens, or next time add it to your granola but soak it first!
How do you prepare it?
Just like rice or quinoa. but reduce cook time in half. Fluff before serving!
As far as topping goes, I like the bulgur pudding topped with fruits like bananas,nuts and seed, pomegranate, berries, some weird ones like fresh yogurt,basil leaves, and seed potato cubes.
