If you can’t travel abroad, take abroad to your kitchen table.

I might be in Egypt at the moment, eating fantastic Arabic food, but Greek food is probably one of the yummiest foods I know. I don't say this because I'm half greek, but greek food is internationally also very popular. Do you agree and like greek food? Today, in honor of this Tuesday, I therefore want to show a recipe of a vegetarian dish which is very delicious and rather festive too. You can serve this when having guests coming over for dinner, and have these included in a vegetarian buffet.

You all, this is my eggplant rolls with bulgur and feta cheese.

THIS RECIPE IS

• Vegetarian

• Full of flavour

• Moist

• Egg Free

• Nut Free

Grilled Eggplant Rolls with Feta Cheese and Bulgur

INGREDIENTS

1,5 dl of bulgur

2 eggplants

70 g feta cheese

10 pieces of sun dried tomatoes

½ red onion 

1 pressed garlic glove

2 tbsp tomato pure

Approx 2 tsp dried thyme

Olive oil

Sea Salt

Fresh basil

HOW TO MAKE IT

• Heat your oven to 200 degrees C.

• Cook your bulgur according to the directions on the package.

• Cut your eggplant into ½ cm thick slices and brush on both sides plentiful of olive oil.

• Place them on baking paper and sprinkle some sea salt and thyme on them.

• Grill in the oven for approx 15 minutes or until the eggplant has softened and got some color.

• Mash the feta cheese. Cut your red onion and sun dried tomatoes into smaller pieces.

• Heat up some oil in a frying pan and fry your red onion together with the garlic until softened.

• Take off the frying pan from the heat and stir down the tomato pure, possibly also with a little bit of water. Add the cooked bulgur, feta cheese, sun dried tomatoes and a little bit of finely chopped fresh basil and sea salt. Combine everything together.

• When the eggplant is done you fill each slice with a little bit of filling (not too much because they won’t close if you take too much) and roll to a roll. You can stick them together if needed with a tooth stick.

• Enjoy!
