Bulgur porridge with pumpkin and apples

30 minutes
Bulgur porridge with pumpkin and apples is a true embodiment of Mediterranean coziness. Greek cuisine is famous for its simple yet rich flavors, and this dish is no exception. Bulgur, nutritious and aromatic, pairs wonderfully with the natural sweetness of pumpkin, apples, and dried apricots. Milk adds creaminess to the porridge while cinnamon introduces a warm spice note that evokes feelings of home. Butter softens the texture, making each spoonful silky smooth. Serving it with mint refreshes the taste and adds an elegant touch. This dish is perfect for cozy family breakfasts, slow autumn evenings, or simply those moments when you want to treat yourself to something special yet healthy and nourishing.
