    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prick the eggplants with a fork and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until they are very soft.

    2

    Remove the baked eggplants from the oven and let them cool slightly. Then, scoop out the flesh into a bowl.

    3

    Add minced garlic, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Use an immersion blender or a fork to mash everything together until you have a smooth, creamy consistency.

    4

    Slice the tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion into thin rounds.

    5

    Warm the pita bread in a skillet or oven until slightly crispy.

    6

    Generously spread the fresh eggplant dip inside the warm pitas.

    7

    Place the sliced tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion inside the pita.

    8

    Sprinkle with finely chopped fresh parsley, and optionally drizzle with a little extra olive oil.

    9

    Fold the pita and serve immediately.
