Does anyone know how to make a Syrian dish called Burghul. Made with turkey and chicken broth only, I think.?

Question

It is a dish my Grandma used to make and serve on Thanksgiving with turkey. I guess it's bulgur wheat, turkey, and broth, but how to cook? Thanks.

Answer 1

Steamed Burghul
1/4 kg red pumpkins or cucumbers
1/4 kg fine burghul
1/4 kg jaggery, to taste (I like it less sweet)
1/4 teaspoon anise seed
1/2-1 coconut, grated
Grind the pumpkin and mix all the ingredients into it.
Keep aside for 1/2 an hour to an hour.
Steam in a pressure cooker for 20 minutes.
Done.


Hamam Mahshi Bi Burghul
Cornish hens
3 (1 1/2 lb) Cornish hens, skinned
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups coarsely chopped onions
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
cooking spray
Bulgur
3/4 cup currants
3 1/3 cups reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth
2 cups uncooked bulgur
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted
3 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
To prepare the hens, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place the onion and next 5 ingredients (onion through allspice) in a food processor; process until smooth. Combine hens and onion mixture in a large zip-top plastic bag. Seal bag; marinate in refrigerator 1 hour, turning bag occasionally. Remove the hens from the bag; discard marinade.
Preheat oven to 400°.
Place hens on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray; bake at 400° for 35 minutes or until thermometer registers 180°.
To prepare the bulgur, soak currants in a bowl of water 15 minutes. Drain; set aside. Bring broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the bulgur, 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon,1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Stir in currants, pine nuts, and butter.
