Method
 

How to Make Sabich Sandwich
  1. Slice the medium Italian eggplant and sprinkle with kosher salt. Let it sit for 20 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
  2. Heat extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the salted eggplant slices until golden brown and tender, about 4-5 minutes on each side.
  3. In a bowl, combine tahini, fresh lemon juice, grated garlic, and ice water. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.
  4. In a separate bowl, toss together diced Persian cucumbers, chopped Roma tomato, sliced red onion, parsley, lemon juice, and olive oil. Mix until well combined.
  5. Grab warmed pitas and layer them with the seared eggplant, cucumber salad, slices of hard-boiled eggs, and pickles. Drizzle on the tahini sauce and finish with a dollop of amba or hot sauce.
  6. Enjoy your freshly made Sabich Sandwich right away while everything is crisp and vibrant!
