Ingredients:


4 small italian eggplant -- halved lengthwise

2 medium roasted garlic heads

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion -- chopped

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

1 large green bell pepper -- diced

1 large red bell pepper -- diced

3 tablespoons slivered almonds

3 tablespoons currants

1 1/2 cups bulgur -- rinsed and drained

2 1/2 cups vegetable broth

4 cups chopped fresh spinach

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup chopped parsley

1 tablespoon dried mint

1 teaspoon ground black pepper
 

Preparation / Directions:


Preheat oven to 375F. Bake eggplants, cut side down, on lightly sprayed baking sheet until soft (20 to 30 min.). Cool; scrape out pulp and chop finely. Squeeze garlic pulp out of roasted cloves; set aside. Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Cook onion, ginger, peppers, almonds and currants over medium heat or until browned (5 min.). Stir in bulgur; cook for 1 min. Add broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until bulgur is tender and the broth is absorbed (20 minutes). Remove pan from heat; let stand 3 minutes. Fluff bulgur with a fork. Fold in eggplant, garlic, spinach, lemon juice, parsley, mint and pepper; transfer to a 2-quart baking dish. Bake at 400øF. for 10 to 15 minutes.
