Cooking bulgur in an Instant Pot is a breeze, making it a fantastic option for a quick and nutritious meal. Here’s a simple vegan-friendly method to get those grains perfectly fluffy.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup bulgur
• 1.5 cups vegetable broth or water
• A pinch of salt (optional)
• A splash of olive oil (optional)

Instructions:

1. Rinse the Bulgur: Begin by rinsing the bulgur under cold water to remove any excess starch. This helps to achieve that light and fluffy texture.

2. Add to the Instant Pot: Transfer the rinsed bulgur into the Instant Pot. Pour in the vegetable broth or water and add a pinch of salt and a splash of olive oil if desired. The broth adds depth of flavour, while the oil lends a lovely richness.

3. Set the Instant Pot: Secure the lid and set the valve to sealing. Select the ‘Manual’ or ‘Pressure Cook’ function and set the timer for 10 minutes.

4. Natural Release: Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes before carefully releasing any remaining steam.

5. Fluff and Serve: Open the lid and use a fork to fluff the bulgur. It’s now ready to be served! You can mix it into salads, use it as a side dish, or even incorporate it into stuffed vegetables.

With this straightforward method, you’ll have perfectly cooked bulgur in no time. Enjoy experimenting with various seasonings and ingredients!
