You can have another delicious meal with mushroom, with the same method you prepared bulgur with mushroom, with just holding bulgur and water.

Many varieties of mushrooms are high in fiber and protein, and provide vitamins such as B complex, as well as minerals.

Bulgur is a precooked, easy to prepare, and a very nutritious food, which is one of the oldest processed food in the human history. References indicate that, the process is known by humans almost for 6,000 years. For the Babylonians, Hittites and Hebrews, bulghur has been a staple since at least 4,000 BC. Romans, Arabs and Egyptians have recorded its use as early as 1,000 BC.

Common in the more easternly Mediterranean regions, it also has a long history in the Ukarainian and Central Asian cuisines. In China it was decleared one of the five sacred crops around 2800BC. (Others are rice, barley, millet and soybean.)

Last month Jodie asked the name and the recipe of the bread that is approx 1 inch high & has sprinkling of sesame seeds on top. The bread is called "Ramazan pidesi" which means "Turkish pita for Ramadan"

I found the recipe but it was in Turkish. I did not want to translate and send her the translation without trying it by myself first.
