Best Grilled Aubergine Tabbouleh Recipes

FETA TABBOULEH WITH AUBERGINES

Steps:

• Cook the bulgur wheat according to pack instructions, then drain well. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic and olive oil, then use half to brush over both sides of the aubergine strips with some seasoning. Sear the strips on a hot griddle or in a frying pan for 3 mins each side until charred and softened.
• Tip the bulgur wheat into a large bowl with the chickpeas, tomatoes, onion, feta and mint, then pour over the remaining garlicky oil and the lemon juice. Mix and season well, then pile onto plates with the charred aubergines.

GRILLED AUBERGINE TABBOULEH

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat and add the aubergine. Cook for 10 mins until soft and cooked through.
• Meanwhile, put the couscous in a large bowl and pour over 200ml boiling water. Cover with cling film and leave to stand for 5-6 mins. Combine all the ingredients for the dressing and season to taste.
• When the couscous has absorbed all the water, fluff it up with a fork. Season and stir in the cucumber, tomatoes and herbs. Add half the dressing and toss to coat. Scatter over the aubergine and drizzle over the rest of the dressing to serve.

GRILLED CORN "TABBOULEH"

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over high heat. Lightly oil grate.
• Add ears of corn to pan and grill, turning occasionally, until lightly charred on all sides and tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Transfer corn to a cutting board. Let stand until cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes. Cut kernels from cobs. Discard cobs or reserve for another use. Coarsely chop 1/4 cup parsley leaves and transfer to a large bowl. Add remaining 1/2 cup parsley leaves, the corn, mint, jalapeño, garlic, oil, Aleppo pepper, coriander, lemon zest, and lemon juice to bowl. Stir to combine. Season with salt and black pepper. Serve salad immediately or chill, covered, overnight.

TABBOULEH SALAD WITH GRILLED EGGPLANT

Steps:

• Place the bulgur in a bowl, pour the boiling water over it and stir in the lemon juice. Cover and set it aside.
• Preheat a grill or broiler. Grill or broil the eggplant slices until they are nicely browned, turning them once to brown both sides. Coarsely chop the eggplant and set it aside.
• After about 30 minutes, when the bulgur has softened and is cool enough to handle, transfer it to a fine-mesh sieve and press out any excess liquid. Return the bulgur to a bowl.
• Fold in the eggplant and all the remaining ingredients. Serve at room temperature.
