Bulgur Mujadara

Heyy Nithyan! Thanks for the question 🤗 Mujadara is often made with rice, so you can totally use rice instead of bulgur if you'd like! Both contain carbs, although bulgur is higher in fiber (a type of carb), which helps slow the rise in blood sugar after a meal, and helps us feel full for longer. The lentils also provide fiber and protein, which help. Coarse cracked wheat sounds like a fun alternative to try, though, especially if it's easier to find! 🫶

Aww this means so much, Sarah, thank you 🥰 And great catch! We did indeed use olive oil, though that said, we used refined olive oil as a it has a higher smoke point that extra-virgin. That said, you can totally use extra virgin olive oil if you prefer, it’ll add a lovely flavour of its own! Just keep the heat a bit lower and perhaps cook the onions for a touch less time since it has a lower smoke point 🤗
