Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. In a bowl, toss the aubergines in the oil, garlic and 1 tbsp each smoked paprika and ground cumin until evenly coated.
- In a roasting tray, toss the bulgur wheat, cardamom pods, remaining spices, the raisins, currants and onions together until evenly combined. Stir in the stock, top with the aubergines and tomatoes on the vine. Roast for 30-35 mins until the stock has been absorbed and the aubergine and bulgur wheat are tender.
- Remove the cardamom pods, then stir in the lemon juice, fluff up the bulgur wheat with a fork and mix the aubergines and tomatoes into the dish until evenly combined. Serve topped with the almonds, parsley, lemon zest and red chilli. Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
