Method
- Dice the eggplant and marinade beef strips with minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl for 10 minutes for flavor infusion.
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Spread the diced eggplant on a baking tray, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes or until golden and tender, stirring halfway through.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining olive oil. Once hot, add the marinated beef strips and cook for 8-10 minutes or until browned and cooked to your liking. Stir frequently for even cooking.
- In the last 2 minutes of cooking the beef, add the green peas to the skillet and stir until heated through.
- Cut the pita breads in half and gently open them to create pockets. Fill each pita with the beef and pea mixture, then top with roasted eggplant and chopped cilantro.
- Serve with lemon wedges on the side to squeeze over the bowls for brightness. Enjoy!
