Grilled Eggplant Rolls with Bulgur Filling
This is a very healthy and filling recipe that is very easy to prepare. Bulgur is famous for its calming effect.
If you can’t fall asleep comfortably or if you can’t sleep because of overthinking, add bulgur to your menu that day and you’ll see the difference! (Bulgur relaxes your digestive system with its high nutritional value and the vitamin B1 it contains.)
Ingredients
2 large eggplants
2 tablespoons of olive oil
For the fill them
2 cups of bulgur
3 cups of hot water
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 teaspoon of coriander powder
1/2 teaspoon of powdered turmeric
2 carrots
100 grams of feta cheese
1 handful of parsley (finely chopped)
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 teaspoon of salt (can be increased or decreased)
When preparing the filling, if you first heat the oil and add the spices, the aroma of the spices will work better on the bulgur.
Recipe
- First, prepare the inner filling. Put the olive oil in a non-flammable bottomed pan and heat it slightly. Add coriander and turmeric to the heated oil.
- When you smell the spices, add the washed bulgur and fry for about 3-4 minutes.
- Then add the boiling water and cook on low heat for about 20 minutes with the pot lid closed until the bulgur is absorbed in the water.
- While the bulgur is being cooked, let’s prepare the eggplants. Wash the eggplants and slice them lengthwise.
- With the help of a brush, grease both sides of the sliced eggplants and then cook them on a heated grill, turning them over and over again until the eggplants are cooked well.
- Once the bulgur has absorbed the water, add the grated carrots, salt, crumbled feta cheese, lemon juice, and finely chopped parsley, mix well, and turn off the stove.
- Put the filling inside the grilled eggplant slices and roll them up.
- Put the rolls you have prepared on a serving plate and serve them warm or cold.
