Cooking Steps

1
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C. 
  • Chop the eggplant into 1 - 2 cm cubes. In a salad bowl, combine the eggplant with the harissa spices*, half of the honey and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Spread the eggplant out over a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving room for the pitas, and bake in the oven for 15 - 18 minutes. Save the salad bowl.

*Take care, this ingredient is spicy! Use as preferred.

2
  • Chop the onion into half rings. In a small bowl, combine the red wine vinegar with the sugar. Add the onion and season to taste with salt, then toss well to combine. Set aside, stirring occasionally.
  • Drain the lentils and spread them out over another parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Pat them dry with kitchen paper, season salt and pepper to taste and toss to combine. Bake in the oven for 12 - 15 minutes. 
3
  • Cut open the pitas and cut them in half. Lay them on the baking sheet with the eggplant and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil to taste.
  • Bake in the oven for 10 - 12 minutes, in the last minute, add the za'atar.
  • Chop the lettuce leaves. Cube the tomatoes and chop the fresh herbs.

Did you know... eggplants are not only a very versatile vegetable, they're also a great source of iron and vitamin C.

  • Top with the lentils and eggplant. Garnish with the pickled onions and the rest of the fresh herbs. Serve with the pita.
