Instructions
- Prep Eggplant: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Cut eggplants in half, lengthwise. Score each eggplant, cutting slits into just the flesh (not the skin), making about five cuts diagonally across the eggplant. Make another set of diagonal cuts the other way to create a cross-hatch pattern.
- Cook Eggplant: In a small bowl, stir together all remaining "Eggplant" ingredients. Brush the mixture onto the cut side of each eggplant. Place cut side up on a baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes until tender.
- Bulgur: Bring the broth to a boil and add bulgur, then cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender. Drain excess liquid.
- Scoop: When eggplant is finished, scoop the tender flesh out of the skins, being careful not to pierce through the skin.
- Assemble: In a large bowl, toss together the scooped-out eggplant, cooked bulgur, raisins, herbs, lemon juice, and almonds. Spoon the mixture back into the eggplant skins. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve: Serve warm, optionally topped with yogurt.
