Ingredients

1-1/2 cups chopped fresh mushrooms
1 cup diced zucchini
3/4 cup chopped green pepper
3/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper
3/4 cup vegetable broth
1/2 cup bulgur
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram

1 large head cabbage
6 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
2 teaspoons lemon juice
