SALAMA BULGUR W Vermicelli # 2 / 2LB

Salama Bulgur with Vermicelli #2 / 2LB is a 2-pound package of pre-mixed bulgur wheat and roasted vermicelli pasta. The #2 designation indicates a medium grain size for the bulgur, offering a heartier texture than fine bulgur. This ready-to-cook mix simplifies the process of making traditional Middle Eastern pilafs.
Product features
Ingredients: Medium-grain bulgur wheat and thin, roasted vermicelli pasta.
Flavor profile: The blend offers a nutty flavor from the bulgur and a rich, slightly toasted flavor from the caramelized vermicelli.
Texture: The medium bulgur provides a satisfying, chewy texture, while the vermicelli adds a delicate, slightly softer contrast.
Convenience: The combination is a timesaver for making pilafs and other dishes, as it eliminates the need to prepare the two ingredients separately.
Common culinary uses
Pilaf: The mix is most famously used for making savory pilafs, where it is typically cooked in chicken or vegetable broth.
Side dish: It serves as a flavorful and satisfying side dish for a variety of meals, including grilled meats, stews, and roasted vegetables.
Base for other dishes: It can be used as a filling for stuffed vegetables or as the base for grain bowls.
How to cook
Preparation: Unlike fine bulgur, this mix should not be pre-soaked. The vermicelli is already toasted.
Cooking method:
Briefly sauté the mix in olive oil or butter to enhance the toasted flavor.
Add hot broth or water (typically a 2:1 ratio of liquid to mix).
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the liquid is absorbed.
Allow to rest off the heat, covered, before fluffing with a fork.
