Bulgur wheat is wheat that has been steamed, dried and cracked, so it cooks fast and comes out fluffy with a nutty bite. This is Madame Gougousse cracked bulgur in a 4 lb bag, the brand many Haitian families buy for blé, the bulgur that's cooked like rice and served with sòs pwa (bean sauce), stews and fried fish.

Why people buy it

Cracked (medium) grain – fluffy and separate, good for pilaf and blé
Quick to cook – about 15 minutes on the stove
4 lb bag – plenty for a family
Swaps in for rice in most everyday meals

How to cook bulgur wheat

Rinse 1 cup of bulgur in a sieve and drain.
Warm a little oil in a pot. For Haitian-style blé, fry some onion, garlic, epis or a pinch of thyme first.
Add the bulgur and stir for a minute, then add about 2 cups of water or broth and a pinch of salt.
Bring to a boil, cover, turn the heat to low and cook about 15 minutes until the water is absorbed.
Turn off the heat, keep covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

For tabbouleh or salads, just pour boiling water over the bulgur (about 1½ cups water per cup), cover for 20–25 minutes, drain any extra water and let it cool. Package directions come first if they differ.

What to make with it

Haitian blé with sòs pwa nwa (black bean sauce) or legim
Bulgur pilaf with chicken, tomatoes and peppers
Tabbouleh and grain salads
Stuffed peppers, kibbeh, or a breakfast porridge

What is blé in Haitian food?

Blé is the Haitian Creole word for bulgur wheat. It's cooked like rice and eaten with bean sauce, stews, fish or meat.
