For the potatoes
-
800 gr potatoes
-
1 small onion

-
1 tsp salt

½ tsp pepper

2 tbsp olive oil
Method
For the stuffed vegetables
-
Cut the eggplants and the zucchinis in half lengthwise, use a spoon to scoop out the flesh and create the veggie boats.
-
Place the veggie boats in a baking pan layered with parchment paper, brush with some olive oil, and season with oregano, salt and pepper and bake them to 180⁰ in a preheated oven for 20 minutes.
-
Peel the mushrooms, pull out the stems and slice them in thin pieces. Finely chop the onion, the garlic, the scooped vegetables’ flesh and the parsley.
-
In a deep pan, saute the onion for 2-3 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for one more minute (mind not to burn it). Add the chopped vegetables, the stock powder, the curry, just a tiny pinch of salt (not much) and the pepper. Add the bulgur and some water (about ¼ cup). Let it simmer for a while and as soon as there is no water left in the pan, turn off the heat, add the parsley and stir.
For the potatoes
Cube the potatoes into small pieces and finely chop the onion and the garlic. Mix everything together in a big bowl combined with the olive oil, the herbs, salt and pepper.
Final step
Fill the veggie boats with the bulgur mix, sprinkle with bread crumbs and paprika, place on a baking pan lined with parchment paper with the potatoes and bake them to 180⁰ in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
