The next day, place the garbanzo beans and white beans in a saucepan and add water to cover. Bring to a boil; lower the heat to low and simmer, covered, until the beans are tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Drain and set aside.

Drain the bulgur and move it to a large saucepan. Add 15 cups water (3 quarts plus 3 cups) and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes, skimming off and discarding any foam that forms.

When the bulgur has thickened, stir in the sugar and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the cooked beans to the bulgur mixture. Stir in the drained raisins, apricots, orange peel, and cloves. Reduce the heat and simmer until the pudding thickens and the fruit is tender, about 15 minutes.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
