Bulgur wheat is a staple of Middle Eastern cuisine, traditionally used to make tabbouleh and pilafs. Here, Chef Justine uses it as the base for a salad. Its satisfying, chewy texture and mild, nutty taste make it a delicious partner to almonds, olives and herbs.

Cook the bulgur; prep the eggplant
Heat the oven to 375°F. In a 2-quart sauce pot, warm 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the bulgur to the hot oil and stir occasionally until toasted, about 3 minutes. Add 1¼ cups water, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a mixing bowl.
Meanwhile, prep the eggplant:
- Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise. Drizzle olive oil over the cut side, season with salt and pepper and half of the Moroccan spice mix.
