This dish calls for Bulgur Wheat, but all types of grains can be substituted. Use couscous, quinoa, kasha (Buckwheat) or any other grain. Just check how much liquid is needed for that grain on the package label and substitute that amount of chicken broth.

Whatever grain you choose, this dish looks and smells great because of the onion and the colors of the peppers and broccoli in it.
