Instructions

1. Soak the bulgur

Mix bulgur and 6 cups of water. Let it rest for at least two hours (you can leave it overnight in the fridge).

2. Boil the bulgur

Boil the bulgur: Place the bulgur, water from soaking, and cinnamon in a heavy pot and boil over medium heat for 5 minutes (add an extra cup of water if it looks like it might need it.)

3. Cook pudding

Add milk, clove powder, raisins, salt, lime peels. Cook over low heat until it acquires a pudding-like consistency (10 mins approx), stirring frequently to prevent it from burning. Add sugar to taste.

4. Serving

Serve warm if you are using it as a breakfast dish or serve in individual bowls and chill to serve as dessert. Sprinkle with nutmeg before serving.

Notes

Bulgur is sometimes sold under the name Coarse Bulgur Wheat [Amazon affiliate Link] It would not be hard to find in Middle Eastern and Latino communities.
Add less sugar for a main breakfast or dinner dish, more sugar to serve as dessert.
If you are a vegan, you could use milk substitute of your choice. I have used soy milk with great results.
If you are on a no-sugar diet substitute sugar for sweetener of your choice. Add sweetener after you have removed it from the heat.
