Preparation:
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. |
