Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium eggplants, sliced lengthwise into 1/2 inch thick pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 pita breads
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
  • 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup diced cucumber
  • 1/4 cup tahini sauce
  • 1/4 cup amba (pickled mango sauce)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Instructions

Step 1:

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Arrange the eggplant slices on the prepared baking sheet, and brush each slice with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 2:

  • Roast the eggplant slices in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden and tender.
  • Set aside.

Step 3:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini sauce, amba sauce, and fresh lemon juice.
  • Set aside.

Step 4:

  • Warm the pita breads in the oven or microwave, and cut them in half to create pockets.

Step 5:

  • Stuff each pita pocket with slices of the roasted eggplant, hard-boiled egg, chopped parsley, mint, red onion, and cucumber.
  • Drizzle the tahini-amba sauce over the filling in each pita pocket.
  • Serve the Sabich pitas immediately, garnished with additional fresh herbs and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

Equipment

Notes

  • Choose a firm and glossy eggplant: Opt for an eggplant with a smooth, shiny skin and no soft spots. Before baking or frying, slice the eggplant into rounds or strips, sprinkle with salt, and let it sit for about 30 minutes to draw out any bitterness. Rinse the salt off and pat dry before cooking.
  • Create a flavorful filling: Prepare a delicious filling by combining cooked and sliced eggs, creamy tahini sauce, pickles, fresh herbs like parsley or mint, and a spoonful of tangy amba sauce. Adjust the seasonings to your taste and mix well for a satisfying blend of flavors.
  • Assemble with care: Warm the pita bread slightly to make it more pliable before stuffing it with the eggplant, egg mixture, and toppings. Add a drizzle of tahini sauce and a sprinkle of sumac for a final touch of flavor. Wrap the pita securely and serve immediately to savor the warm, colorful layers of this traditional Israeli dish.
