Athienitiko Bulgur

Bulgur is a staple of Cypriot cuisine and in Athienou is connected with the tradition of grain cultivation and family cooking.

It is prepared from cracked wheat usually boiled with onion, tomato, and herbs, often with the addition of thin vermicelli, creating a rich pilaf that accompanies grilled meats, halloumi, or vegetables. Athienitiko bulgur is served at festivals and family tables and represents an example of simple but nutritious local food.
