Can I substitute bulgur or quiona for rice in my recipe?We Answered:
Yes, you can sub either one. I make quinoa stuffed peppers all of the time. I like the inca red variety, which is a little bit nuttier than the white quinoa, or you can use a combination of both. Quinoa flakes and quinoa flour make tasty muffins too! I am allergic to wheat, so I rely heavily on this yummy grainEverett Said:
does anyone know the recipe for quipes/kipes (fried bulgur roll)?We Answered:
INGREDIENTS for 3 dozen* 1 pound medium sized cracked wheat
* 1 pound of ground beef
* 1 tbs. fresh lime juice
* 1 pound of white onions
* .5 oz (1 tablespoon) ground allspice
* 1 cup olive oil
* 1/6 bunch fresh mint
* 1/4 bunch fresh parsley
* 1 tsp salt
* 1 tsp ground black pepper
* 2 quarts peanut oil
* PREPARATION
1. Cover the cracked wheat with cold water and let soak 30-45 minutes. Time will vary on the
freshness of the bulgur.
2. When bulgur is soft, drain off excess water in a fine colander and then hand squeeze the
remaining water from the bulgur.
3. Peel and grate the onion into the ground beef, add the salt, pepper, olive oil, lime juice, allspice and then lightly mix.
4. Pick the leaves from the mint and parsley and finely chop.
5. Add the chopped mint leaf and softened cracked wheat to the ground beef (step 3 above)
and then mix and combine well. This will take about 5 minutes and the resultant blend should
be quite smooth and uniform.
6. Form into mini football shaped "rolls". The length should be about twice as long as it is wide.
7. Refrigerate for at least two hours to allow melding of flavors and preparing for frying.
8. Heat peanut oil to 425 degrees F. and carefully deep fry the Kipe fritters, turning if necessary.
They should be unifrmly browned, very crispy and fully cooked.
9. Remove from oil, drain on paper towels and serve.

Does anyone have any vegetarian recipes that use bulgur?We Answered:
I made a bulgar chili that was tasty. The recipe below is similar to the one I found in a cookbook, and it contained carrots.The recipe is missing the measure of bulgar - it's 1/2 cup.
This chili goes well with crackers or homemade cornbread.
If you don't like spicy chili, you can back-off a jalapeno or two.
