Beautiful eggplants and fresh parsley I picked up on a recent visit to my neighborhood’s new farmers market inspired these delicious pita pockets. Add some fresh yogurt cheese for an extra-special treat.
Ingredients
- 2 pitas, cut in half to form 4 pita pockets $2
- 1 15-oz can garbanzo beans, drained and smashed well with a fork $1
- juice and zest of one lemon $0.50
- 1 small bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped $1
- 1 cup eggplant, very finely chopped (1 small eggplant or 1/2 regular eggplant $1
- 1/2 white onion $0.50
- 4 cloves garlic, minced Pantry
- 1/8 cup Greek yogurt plus extra for garnish $1.50
- 2 cups fresh spinach $1
- salt and pepper to taste Pantry
- 2 tbsp olive oil Pantry
Recipe Serves 2
Directions
- In a medium bowl combine smashed garbanzos, lemon juice, eggplant, onion, garlic, yogurt and most of the parsley (reserve a pinch for garnish).
- Mix well to incorporate and season well with salt and pepper. Form into 4 patties.
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side. They may be a little flaky but don't worry--they'll still be delicious.
- Fill each pita pocket with spinach, a patty, a little Greek yogurt, a pinch of lemon zest and some fresh parsley.

hey. that is awesome. I had a vision to make baba ghahnosh burgers and found your site. Its the only one with burgers on the entire net. way to go. I am having a the same problem that I always seem to have. My burgers dont get cooked. They just get really hot or burnt but are stay mushy like a hot hummus. I tried cooking them for over 30 minutes and I even tried the oven. any suggestions to solve my little problem.
thanks
dave

I had the same problem as Dave. These were very tasty and refreshing never-the-less and fell nicely into the pitas.

After making the one of these I realized I was having the same problem as Dave and Garrett. To remedy this I added about 3 Tbsp of flour to the remaining mixture, which soaked up some of the extra moisture. I also used a minimal amount of olive oil so that the surfaces of the patties developed a crispy surface almost as soon as they hit the pan. They turned out pretty well in the end.
Just found this site the other day, and as a brokeass college foodie I have to say I love it. Great recipes…keep it up!
