Ingredients:
For the Eggplant
For the Pita
- 4 8” round pita bread
- ¾ cup olive oil
- 2 tsp sumac
For the Sauce
- 2 cups plain yogurt
- ½ cup tahini
- 1 garlic clove
- ½ lemon, juiced
- ¼ tsp salt, or to taste
For Garnish
- ¼ cup slivered almonds or pine nuts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup parsley, finely chopped
- ¼ cup pomegranate seeds (optional)
Directions
- Roast the eggplant in the oven, then place in an airtight container in the fridge for storage. Before serving, simply heat them in the oven or frying pan.
- For the pita, deep fry them or toast them on a panini press until they are super crunchy.
- The sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge. Mix, then adjust the consistency as needed as it might thicken slightly. You can do this by adding a bit of water or lemon juice to thin it out.
