Prepare all the necessary ingredients. As a seasoning, you can use a mixture of spices for pilaf.
Cut the eggplants arbitrarily, but not too finely. For young specimens, you do not need to peel the skin and seeds. Sprinkle with salt and leave for 10 minutes to remove the bitterness.
2 pcs eggplant, ¼ tsp salt
In a pan with oil, pour the diced carrots and onions. Fry for a couple of minutes until soft.
1 pc carrot, 2 tbsp vegetable oil, 1 pc onion
Add the eggplants. Drain the dark liquid that has come out of them.
Keep everything together for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables have golden spots. Add the rinsed bulgur, spices, and chopped tomato pulp. It is better to remove the skin from the tomatoes.
1 cup bulgur, 2 pcs tomato, 2 cloves garlic, 1 pinch pepper
Heat, stirring occasionally, until all the tomato juice is absorbed into the bulgur, while the grains begin to crackle. Pour in water, reduce the heat to a minimum and cook under a lid for 20-25 minutes.
1 cup water
Taste the cereal, if it is undercooked and there is no water left, you can add a little more. But bulgur should be a bit hard. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and garlic and let stand under the lid for a few minutes to better reveal the flavors.
1 bunch parsley
Bulgur with eggplants is ready.
