These good-for-you sandwiches are low in fat and meatless.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound Japanese eggplants, unpeeled, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
1 15 1/2-ounce can garbanzo beans, drained, 1/2 cup juices reserved
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, divided
5 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese, divided
3 pita bread rounds, warmed in oven or toasted
Directions
Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add eggplant cubes and onions; sauté until soft and beginning to brown, about 9 minutes. Stir in garbanzo beans, cumin, and lemon juice. Sauté until heated through and flavors blend, adding enough garbanzo bean liquid by tablespoonfuls to moisten if mixture is dry, about 4 minutes. Stir in 3 tablespoons mint and 3 tablespoons feta cheese. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Cut pita breads crosswise in half. Spoon eggplant mixture into pita breads. Sprinkle filling with remaining mint and feta and serve.
