Hollow out the eggplants, salt them, and let them stand for 10 minutes.
Mix the bulgur, chopped onion, tomato, basil, and olive oil.
Rinse and dry the eggplants, then fill them loosely with the stuffing.
Arrange the stuffed eggplants in a pot and add hot water halfway up.
Cook over low heat for 25 minutes.
Rest for 10 minutes so the eggplants do not fall apart while the bulgur swells.
💡 Tip: Not hollowing the eggplants too thin helps them keep their shape while cooking.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the stuffed eggplants warm with yogurt and basil leaves on the side.
