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.

  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.
