    Incredible!
    This is extra good and healthy. I did substitute celery for the green peppers (didn't have any on hand) and used canned tomatoes instead of fresh and the tomato sauced. Added garlic and more seasoning because we like it, but the basic recipe is fantastic and easy to make. - 2/18/21

    I live in Turkey and love Bulgur pilav. When I make this I add half a teaspoon of chilli flakes and a wee bit of lemon juice. Bulgur is a staple food for me. - 7/20/12

    I added a touch of lemon zest and combined it with white fish with lemon caper sauce. Great meal - zesty, flavourful and lots of veggies. - 3/27/11

    Wow this is really good! I substituted fresh tomatoes for a can of fire roasted tomatoes (YUM!) and didn't use the tomato paste. I added roasted minced garlic and it added another level of flavor. It is incrediable!!!! - 3/1/11

    This was pretty good. I added two large chicken breasts (cooked and chopped) and turned it into a main dish. - 2/8/11

    I do this occasionally and I love it. I usually add garlic and omit the tomato and pepper. For a variety, I sometimes add frozen vegetables, or frozen peas. - 10/7/10

    This was delicious! A hit with 3 of my 4 kids. They all wanted seconds! I think I'll add a little garlic to the saute next time. But it was really tasty! I'm looking forward to the leftovers! - 8/25/10
