Incorporate bulgur: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the fine bulgur wheat until well combined. Cover the pan tightly and let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or until the bulgur is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.

Add herbs and finish: Fluff the bulgur mixture with a fork. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and mint (if using). Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
