Thanks, Hilary - I've bought bulgar wheat tonight at the supermarket - 89p for a pack (500g, I think).

Next time I knock up a batch of bolognase, I'm going to put some in. As a start, I'm thinking of 1/4 bulgar wheat, 3/4 mince by weight, if that sound about right?

I tend to measure the bulgar by volume, I have a 125ml measure, and that added to 125g of mince and 200ml liquid goes a bit further than 250g mince, it's great stuff!



PS, for a bolognese, I'd add it after the 'wet bits' are in, with the extra water it needs.

Thank you, Hilary - duly printed out for future ref.
