Date walnut bulgur

Yield: 2 to 4

Measure Ingredient
1 teaspoon Butter or oil (optional)
¼ cup Walnuts
1 cup Bulgur with a pinch of salt
2 cups Water
1 tablespoon Date sugar or 2 chopped dates
⅓ cup Instant dry milk (optional)

Preheat the pot and lightly toast the walnuts (avoid burning). Add the bulgur and stir to absorb the oil. Add the water and salt and cook 3 to 5 minutes, until the water is absorbed and the bulgur is tender.

Stir in the dates. Serve with milk, if desired.

For longer trips or to avoid carrying liquid oil, the walnuts contain enough oil to toast a little. The milk can be mixed in dry or mixed to make one cup of liquid milk; this balances some of the amino acids in the grain and nuts, but may be omitted.

This is a hearty, stick-to-your ribs breakfast I use for winter camping or when I am really going to be active.
