Peel the red bell pepper using a vegetable peeler, then chop. Finely
chop the onion. Heat the olive oil in a large pan, add the chopped
onion and red pepper, and fry until soft.

Add stock, white wine, and grape leaves, and bring to a boil.

Meanwhile, cut the cauliflower to flowerettes, and peel and cube the
eggplant. Add the cauliflower, eggplant and rice to the boiling stock,
along with the salt, pepper and coriander.

Lower the heat, cover partially, and simmer for 1/2 to 3/4 hour, until
the vegetables are soft and the rice is cooked.

Just before serving, sprinkle each serving with olive oil, and garnish
with chopped parsley.

This soup is best prepared a day ahead and then reheated gently.
