By :Time Inc.
Bulgur wheat (cracked wheat), a tasty alternative to rice, is high in soluble fiber. The flavor of this recipe is reminiscent of Thanksgiving cornbread dressing. From Time Inc's "Instant Pot All-Time Best Recipes"

    Very good. I sauteed pancetta for 3 minutes, then added cherry tomatoes for 2 minutes, then added the bulgher for 2 minutes. Then added the stock.
    Delicious! Only thing is that i would add just a little less liquid.

    Very good, but I found it to be a bit overcooked. Next time i will reduce cooking time to 8 or 10 minutes and reduce liquid by .5 cup.
