Once I bought a bag of dried peas instead of lentils. I love lentil soup, and I was very happy that I finally found green lentils. You can imagine my disappointment when I realized the mistake.
After looking for dry split pea recipes, I decided to make the soup with peas instead of lentils. The soup tasted good and I kept the recipe. You can have another delicious meal with mushroom, with the same method you prepared bulgur with mushroom, with just holding bulgur and water.
Many varieties of mushrooms are high in fiber and protein, and provide vitamins such as B complex, as well as minerals. Bulgur is a precooked, easy to prepare, and a very nutritious food, which is one of the oldest processed food in the human history. References indicate that, the process is known by humans almost for 6,000 years. For the Babylonians, Hittites and Hebrews, bulghur has been a staple since at least 4,000 BC. Romans, Arabs and Egyptians have recorded its use as early as 1,000 BC.
Common in the more eastern Mediterranean regions, it also has a long history in the Ukrainian and Central Asian cuisines. In China it was declared one of the five sacred crops around 2800BC. (Others are rice, barley, millet and soybean.) The theme of Turkish food blogger event this month was fish. If you ask me, it was an excellent choice. We used to have at least one meal with fish per week.
Last couple of months, however, I just could not find time to prepare a fish meal, except opening a tuna can. Tuna is good in pastas, salads, or sandwiches. I am not complaining, but if you like fish like me, canned tuna is never enough. So Bezen‘s choice gave me the reason to break my laziness, and cook some delicious fish dishes. |
