Maquli with meat pita Recipe

Prepare the Meat

Cook the meat of your choice (beef, chicken, or lamb) over medium heat until fully cooked. Season with salt, pepper, and spices as desired. Set aside.

Fry the Eggplant

Slice the eggplant into rounds, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 20 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse and pat dry. Heat oil in a pan and fry the eggplant until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Cook the Halloumi Cheese

Slice the halloumi cheese and fry it in a pan until golden and crispy on both sides. Set aside.

Prepare the Fries

Cook fries according to package instructions or make your own by cutting potatoes into strips, frying them, or baking until crispy.

Chop Vegetables

Dice the tomatoes, pickled cucumber, and chop the parsley finely.

Assemble the Pita

Take a piece of pita bread and spread hummus on one side. Layer with cooked meat, fried eggplant, tomatoes, pickled cucumber, parsley, fries, and fried halloumi cheese. Drizzle with hot sauce and garlic sauce to taste.

Serve

Wrap the pita and serve warm with extra sauces on the side.
