Bulgur With Roasted Eggplant And Peppers

• 5 cups (1-inch) cubed peeled eggplant (about 1 pound)
• 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1 1/2 cups chopped red bell pepper
• 1 1/2 cups chopped yellow bell pepper
• 2 cups chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons and 1/4 teaspoon olive oil, divided
• Cooking spray
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 whole garlic head
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 (15.75-ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup coarsely ground uncooked bulgur wheat
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1. Preheat oven to 450u0b0.
2. Place eggplant in a colander. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt; toss. Let stand 20 minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Combine eggplant, bell peppers, onion, and 1 tablespoon oil in a large bowl; toss well. Spread eggplant mixture evenly in a jelly-roll pan coated with cooking spray; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper.
3. Remove white, papery skin from garlic head (do not peel or separate the cloves). Cut off top 1/4 inch of garlic head using a serrated knife; discard top. Rub 1/4 teaspoon oil over bottom portion of garlic head. Add garlic head, cut side up, to eggplant mixture. Bake at 450u0b0 for 40 minutes or until vegetables are browned, stirring occasionally.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add cumin, turmeric, ginger, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Stir in bulgur; cover, reduce heat, and simmer over medium-low heat 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
5. Remove garlic from eggplant mixture. Separate cloves; squeeze to extract garlic pulp. Discard skins. Stir garlic pulp, eggplant mixture, parsley, and lemon juice into bulgur mixture.
