Bulgur with maple syrup is a gentle and warming dish from Turkish cuisine that combines the softness of grains with the richness of natural sweet notes. Bulgur soaked in milk and maple syrup takes on a creamy texture, while added apricots and blueberries give it a light fruity freshness. Pecan nuts and butter enrich the flavor, adding depth and a slight nutty bitterness. Historically, bulgur has been widely used in Eastern cuisine as a base for porridge and pilaf. In this recipe, it transforms into a cozy breakfast or healthy dessert perfect for leisurely mornings or warm family evenings.
