Bulghur Wheat with Aubergines and Mint [#91]


We went way back to the January section for this accompaniment to the Five Spice Quail - much more appropriate on a warm evening with grilled meat than on a cold mid-winter night. Bulghur Wheat has a curious texture, and I think I prefer couscous on balance, or I prefer just a small quantity in a proper Tabbouleh. Anyway, it is essential to big up the flavours with masses of garlic, aubergine, onion, tomatoes and - most important, mint, parsley and lemon juice. Loads left over for Hubby to eat for lunch at work tomorrow with the remaining carved quail.
