Instructions

6 steps

1
Sprinkle the eggplant slices generously with salt on both sides and lay them on paper towels for 15 minutes to draw out moisture and bitterness. Pat them completely dry.

2
Heat 1/2 inch of neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (350°F).
3
Fry the eggplant slices in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until they are deeply golden brown and tender. Transfer to a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
4
Carefully warm the pita breads in an oven or on a dry skillet to make them pliable, then slice off the top quarter to open the pocket.
5
Smear a generous spoonful of hummus inside one side of the pita pocket and tahini on the other.
6
Layer the fried eggplant slices, hard-boiled egg slices, and a scoop of Israeli salad inside. Drizzle generously with more tahini and the tangy amba sauce before serving.
