My mom makes this dish with rice, but I today i am substituting the rice with bulgur. one of my friends does this all the time, since bulgur seems to be the healthier alternative. If you have not heard of bulgur, there is google and Wikipedia. Ok fine. Bulgur is a “cereal food made from several different wheat species, and originated in Middle Eastern cuisines”. Try both and see which one you prefer! This dish has a subtle taste and is full of fiber and protein and dill is known to lower cholesterol. So… you’re welcome 😀
