Ingredients

2 eggplants, sliced in 5 mm rounds
¼ cup olive oil
2 cups finely shredded red cabbage
1 cucumber, diced
1 tomato, diced
¼ cup flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
½ lemon, juice & zest
SIDS CRAZY LEMON
1 cup hummus
4 pita pockets, cut in halves
TAHINI SAUCE:--
3 tbsp tahini
3 tbsp water
½ lemon, juice & zest
1 tsp garlic powder
Pinch of salt

Directions

Place a large fry pan over high heat. Add a little oil and eggplant. When one side of the eggplant has turned golden brown, flip and cook the other side. Remove the eggplant and place on a paper towel to soak the excess oil. Repeat until you have cooked all the eggplant.
Add the cabbage to a large bowl and sprinkle with salt, lemon juice, a very light sprinkle of SIDS CRAZY LEMON and zest. Toss until combined and set aside.
Add the cucumber, tomato and parsley to another bowl. Toss with salt, lemon juice, SIDS CRAZY LEMON and zest then set aside.
To make the tahini sauce, mix all ingredients until smooth and combined. It should make a runny sauce.
To assemble, cut open the pita breads to make ‘pockets.’ Spread the hummus on one side and fill with the fried eggplant, red cabbage and salad mix. Drizzle generously with the tahini sauce and enjoy immediately.
