Bulgur is a great go-to grain because of its quick cook time and neutral flavor.

We really enjoyed this dish! I used brown rice instead of bulgur because I had some leftovers in the fridge. It came together super fast which makes it a great weeknight dinner. I think it could have used more broccoli, or even a combo of broccoli and snap peas. Will definitely make it again.

This was a quick flavorful dish to prepare. We really enjoyed it. I never had bulgur before. Very good in this. Brown rice would make a fine substitute.

I made brown rice instead of the bulgur. Easy to prepare and we really liked the lemon and the basil flavors in this dish. Served with a Thai-style cucumber salad. Will make again.
