Note

The bell pepper should be stemmed, seeded, and thinly sliced before cooking.

For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.

Grated Parmesan cheese is added at the end for garnish and flavor; adjust amount to preference.

Bulgur cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking. Fluff with a fork after absorbing the broth.
