- Soak bulgur in 1 ½ cup hot water for 30 minutes. Drain.
- Wash and dry the peppers, brush them with oil, arrange on an oven tin. Cook the peppers in the oven for 15 minutes at 240˚C with frequent turn over.
- While hot, put in a plastic bag (this will make them easily to peel), let stand for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the eggplants in the hot grill pan until golden - brown in colour. Transfer to a food processor and chop coarsely.
- Add bulgur, sausage, garlic, onion, cheese, cream, lemon juice, mint, coriander, parsley and black pepper, mix thoroughly and combine.
- Peel the peppers, remove stems and seeds. Stuff them with the bulgur and sausage mixture.
- In a skillet heat the oil over a medium heat, and fry the peppers for a few minutes.
- Add the tomato paste and some water, season with salt. Stir and let it simmer for 20 minutes until thickened and cooked.
- Serve hot with the tomato paste sauce.
