Ingredients
1 cup dried small red Goya beans ( Soak overnight in 4 cups water and add 5 cloves chopped garlic)
1/2 onion
4 stalks scallion
1 whole scotch bonnet pepper
Few sprigs thyme
All purpose seasoning ( seasoned to your liking)
Add about a tsp of salt to cook peas
1/4 tsp All spice or a few pimento seeds
1 cup coconut milk
1 1/2 cups water additional water
3 small piece of ginger whole or grated
🍃2 cups bulgur wheat- wash and soak in 3 cups water for a few minutes. The bulgur wheat will absorb the water makes it easier to cook, the grain will open and appear to be some what precooked but not cooked. This also reduce the amount of water use to cook. Usually I would just wash the bulgur and cook without soaking which is ok but I like the soaked method. The less liquid, the bulgur wheat will be less mushy once cook which I prefer. You also have the option of not soaking the bulgur but make sure to add enough liquid to cover 2 inches above the bulgur if you want it less mushy. To my surprise bulgur wheat can also be eaten uncooked. Just soak in warm water for a few minutes until grains are soft and drain any excess liquid. Something I will definitely try soon and share a recipe. Bulgur is so underrated yet so nutritious. It’s an healthier alternative to the usual white rice and it’s an excellent source of fiber. On this lifestyle to better health the learning never stops. I’m amazed at the simplest things I learn on a daily basis.
