Description
The first time i made this everyone was skeptical, but it was loved by all. The bulgar adds a really nice dimension, and the meat is not missed at all. I serve this with thick slices of french bread. Cooking time includes a lot of time where you don't have to do anything, just let it sit. Adapted from healthy cooking for two.
