2. Cooking Directions

  1. Combine bulgur and warm water in a medium bowl; let stand until the bulgur is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare a grill or preheat the broiler. Add beef, watercress, salt and pepper to the plumped bulgur and mix thoroughly but lightly. Shape the mixture into eight 3/8-inch-thick patties (see Cooking tips). Sandwich cheese between the patties to form 4 stuffed burgers.
  3. Grill or broil the patties on a lightly oiled rack (see Cooking tips) until browned and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. (An instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should register 160 degrees F.) Place the burgers on buns and garnish with watercress sprigs.

Yield: 4 servings

3. Still Hungry?

Roquefort cheese, peppery watercress and succulent beef create a deliciously bold burger that meat lovers will rave over. The bulgur stretches the ground beef and boosts the fiber.

Notes:

Ingredient note

Bulgur is a quick-cooking form of wheat that has been parboiled and dried. Don't confuse it with cracked wheat, which needs longer cooking.

Cooking tips

When forming burger patties, make them thinner at the center to prevent them from steaming as they cook.

To oil a grill: Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.) When grilling delicate foods like tofu and fish, it is helpful to spray the food with cooking spray.
