What goes with Bulgur?
Bulgur is wheat that has been parboiled, dried and cracked into graded particles. Its mild, nutty taste and pre-cooked structure make it different from raw cracked wheat. Particle size is a practical ingredient specification: fine bulgur and coarse pilaf bulgur do not need the same treatment.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Bulgur?
Juicy tomato, chopped herbs and citrus can provide both flavour and moisture in a salad. A coarse pilaf accepts braised vegetables or pulses as a softer counterpoint. Balance the grain against the herb and vegetable volume rather than treating all bulgur dishes as bowls of cereal with a garnish.
