Instructions

Drain and season the chickpeas, then roast them over medium-high heat until well browned, about 10 minutes.

Add the eggplant, onion and green peppers, cooking until softened, about 3 minutes.

Stir in the sumac, mint and cumin for a final minute.

Cook the bulgur separately and fluff with a fork.

Let the chickpeas simmer for about 6 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Serve hot over the bulgur, garnished with fresh herbs.
