This has a good flavor, but it came out really wet. Not sure if bulgur is supposed to do that. I doubled the recipe and used 1/2 C bulgur and 2 C broth and simmered 25 minutes, but it was still liquidy, so I added some more bulgur and let it simmer for 15 more minutes. The broth was soaked up, but the bulgur was still very wet. I used zucchini instead of mushrooms and used dried minced onions. Doesn't need the salt and pepper if you have flavorful chicken broth. Will save and try to play with it a bit.
