Open Pita with Eggplant and Yoghurt

Ingredients

Preparation

Preparation

  • Start with the eggplants, as they require more preparation time. Wash the eggplants, cut them into thick round slices and sprinkle them generously with salt. Place the slices in a colander and strain them for 30 minutes, as this removes excess water and their bitter taste.
  • Once again, rinse the eggplant slices, strain them thoroughly and place them in a large platter. Add enough olive oil to ensure that all sides of the eggplant slices are covered. Line a large baking tray with greaseproof paper and place the eggplant slices on top. Cook at 180°C, at the forced-air setting, for 30 minutes, ensuring that they’re properly cooked inside and they’ve taken on a nice colour.
  • Prepare the yoghurt sauce by mixing the yoghurt, tahini, lemon juice and a pinch of salt in a large bowl.
  • Dice the tomatoes and cucumbers, place them in a bowl and add olive oil, salt and pepper.
  • Finely chop the parsley and place it in a small bowl.
  • Boil the eggs for ten minutes, until they’re hard.
  • In a skillet, heat an Arabic pita bread for half a minute, then place it on a plate. Spread a dollop of yoghurt sauce on the pita bread, then add eggplant chunks, 1-2 tablespoons of the tomato mix, chopped parsley and half an egg. Serve with some fresh-squeezed lemon juice.
