Burghul bi Jibn wal Batinjan (Bulgur with Cheese and Eggplant)
Combining bulgur with eggplant and halumi cheese, this Syrian favorite (pronounced boor-GHOUL bee jeebn wal bet-in-JAN) makes a lovely vegetarian entrée. Coarse- or medium-ground bulgur works best. Halumi is a firm, chewy, rather salty cheese. To reduce its saltiness, soak the cheese in a bowl of fresh water for half an hour. You can substitute mozzarella.
