Open-Face Roasted Eggplant & Herb Salad Pita Sandwiches
Open-Face Roasted Eggplant & Herb Salad Pita Sandwiches are a favorite summer meal in my house! They’re light and fresh, but with the addition of hard boiled eggs, they’re quite filling too. I love the fresh flavors of Middle Eastern cuisine and this recipe brings ingredients like preserved lemon, cilantro, parsley and cumin to the table. Delicious!
These eggplant sandwiches are very simple to make. Simply bake the eggplant slices in the oven. While the eggplant is cooking, prepare a herb mixture to accompany it. Combine cilantro, parsley, preserved lemon, onion, lemon juice, turmeric and cumin with some olive oil. To serve, assemble the eggplant and herb mixture on flatbread. I use lavash bread, but you could use pita bread if you prefer!
