Eggplant Preparation

Pita Stuffing

Honey-Lime Dressing

Method

Eggplant Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant

    Slice the eggplant into 1/2 inch thick rounds and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for 20 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Breading the Eggplant

    Set up a breading station: Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs in a third. Coat each eggplant slice in flour, dip in eggs, and then coat in breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Frying the Eggplant

    Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the breaded eggplant slices until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Pita Stuffing

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Thinly slice the red onion, chop the spinach, dice the tomato, and slice the cucumber.

  2. 5

    Assemble the Pitas

    Take a piece of pita bread and spread a generous amount of roasted red pepper hummus inside. Layer in the fried eggplant, spinach, tomato, cucumber, and red onion.

Honey-Lime Dressing

  1. 6

    Mix the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 7

    Drizzle the Dressing

    Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the stuffed pitas before serving.
