Ingredients

  • 1 medium Eggplant (sliced)
  • 1/2 cup Olive Oil (for frying)
  • 1 cup Hummus
  • 4 Hard-Boiled Eggs (sliced)
  • 1 cup Israeli Salad (finely diced)
  • 1/4 cup Amba Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Tahini Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup Pita Chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1Pour the 1/2 cup of olive oil into a large skillet. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 375°F (190°C). Carefully add the 1 medium eggplant, sliced, to the hot oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until the eggplant slices are golden brown and tender. Remove the eggplant from the skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  2. 2Prepare the 1 cup of Israeli salad by ensuring it is finely diced. This salad typically includes ingredients like cucumber, tomato, and onion, along with some of the 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley.
  3. 3Get four serving cups ready. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the 1 cup hummus into the bottom of each cup.
  4. 4Arrange the fried eggplant slices on top of the hummus in each cup. Add 1 sliced hard-boiled egg on top of the eggplant in each cup.
  5. 5Spoon about 1/4 cup of the prepared 1 cup Israeli salad over the egg slices in each cup.
  6. 6Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of the 1/4 cup amba sauce over the Israeli salad in each cup. Then, drizzle about 1 tablespoon of the 1/4 cup tahini sauce over the amba sauce.
  7. 7Garnish each cup with a sprinkle of the remaining 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley. If using, add a few of the 1/2 cup pita chips to each cup.
