How to Make Bulgur Pudding With Honey And Dates

  1. Combine 1 cup bulgur and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  2. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer, stirring frequently, until the water is absorbed (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Stir in 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup honey, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens to a porridge-like consistency (about 5 minutes).
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1/2 cup chopped pitted dates, and 1/4 cup currants.
  7. Add more honey to sweeten, if desired.
  8. Serve warm in bowls. Top with a scoop of ice cream, if desired.
  9. **Optional: Bulgur-Date Pudding Cake:** Pour the hot pudding into a buttered 8-9 inch square pan. Cool to room temperature, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before cutting into 6 or 9 portions.
  10. **Optional: Hazelnut-Fig Pudding:** Substitute 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts for walnuts and 1/2 cup chopped figs for dates.
