How to Make Aubergine Eggplant Pitas
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add 2 medium aubergines (eggplants), diced into 1-inch cubes, and cook quickly, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite hot sauce (adjust to taste), and 1 (28-ounce) can of crushed tomatoes. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the aubergine is tender.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Warm 6 pita breads. Spoon the aubergine mixture into the pitas. Top with your favorite chopped fresh chilies (e.g., jalapeño, serrano) and crumbled feta cheese (optional). Serve immediately with a side of your favorite crunchy salad.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
