Method
- 1
Prick the aubergines and char them under a hot grill or over a gas flame for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is blackened and the flesh is soft; scoop out the flesh and chop roughly, discarding the skin.
- 2
Heat the olive oil in a pan and cook the onion and garlic cloves for 6 minutes until softened.
- 3
Add the lamb mince and cook for 8 minutes, breaking it up, until no pink remains.
- 4
Stir in the tomato purée and the charred aubergine flesh and cook for 2 minutes.
- 5
Add the bulgur wheat and lamb stock, bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 12 minutes until the bulgur is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- 6
Take off the heat and leave to stand, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
