Bulgur with pickled cabbage is a savory, tangy home-style dish made by cooking bulgur with pieces of fermented cabbage. Recipes often include onion and spices, and the pickle gives the dish much of its saltiness.
To make Bulgur with pickled cabbage, soften onion in a pan, stir in bulgur and cooking liquid, then simmer until nearly tender. Add chopped pickled cabbage toward the end so it keeps some texture.
Bulgur with pickled cabbage tastes sour because the cabbage has fermented in brine. The tang varies with the pickle and the amount used; draining the cabbage before adding it makes the flavor less sharp.
Yes, a little cabbage pickle brine can season Bulgur with pickled cabbage and deepen its tang. Use it in place of some cooking liquid rather than adding it all on top, since brine can make the dish quite salty.
Rinsing the cabbage is optional when making Bulgur with pickled cabbage. A quick rinse removes some surface brine and salt, while using it straight from the jar gives the bulgur a stronger, saltier pickle flavor.
Medium or coarse bulgur works well in Bulgur with pickled cabbage because it holds its shape during simmering. Fine bulgur cooks quickly and can turn soft, so shorten the cooking time if you use it.
Serve Bulgur with pickled cabbage with a crisp green salad or a spoonful of plain yogurt. The dish is already tangy, so a mild, fresh side balances it better than another strongly pickled accompaniment.
Yes, Bulgur with pickled cabbage can be made without tomato paste. Onion, spices and the cabbage brine still give it plenty of flavor; add a little extra cooking liquid if the mixture seems dry.
Bulgur with pickled cabbage keeps for about 3–4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Cool and refrigerate leftovers promptly, then reheat them thoroughly; add a splash of water if the bulgur has dried out.
Yes, you can freeze Bulgur with pickled cabbage in airtight, meal-sized portions. The cabbage and bulgur may soften after thawing, so defrost it in the refrigerator and reheat it well before serving.

Bulgur with pickled cabbage is a Turkish home-style dish made by cooking bulgur with cabbage pickles. The cabbage brings a tangy, savoury note, while its saltiness and sharpness depend on the pickle and how much brine is used.
The bulgur turns tender and fluffy, with pieces of cabbage adding a little bite. In Turkey, it can be served warm for lunch or dinner, either on its own or alongside other home-cooked dishes. Bulgur makes it a filling, fibre-rich choice with carbohydrates at its centre. For a milder, less salty result, drain or rinse the cabbage and add the brine sparingly; fresh herbs make a simple accompaniment.
