Ingredients
- 1 large eggplant, sliced into 1-inch-thick rounds
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 large eggs
- Israeli Salad, recipe follows
- 4 whole-wheat pitas, warmed
- 1 cup prepared hummus
- 1 cup finely shredded red cabbage
- Mango hot sauce, optional
- 2 plum tomatoes, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1 small English cucumber, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Brush the eggplant slices with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Roast on a baking sheet until golden brown and soft, about 30 minutes.
- Put the eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, remove from the heat, cover and let sit for 17 minutes. Drain immediately and cover with cold water and ice. Let sit for 5 minutes. Peel and thinly slice each egg.
- Slice 1 inch from the top of a pita and open the pocket. Spread 1/4 cup of the hummus on one side, add a few slices of eggplant, a few spoonfuls of the Israeli Salad, some cabbage, few dashes of the hot sauce, if using, and then the eggs. Wrap in foil or parchment. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Toss the tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
