Method

step 1
Put the cucumber, tomatoes, spring onions and lemon juice into a bowl. Season with a little salt and toss together.
step 2
To make the green tahini, put all the ingredients into a small food processor with 6 tbsp of water and some seasoning and blend until smooth.
step 3
Heat a griddle or non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Pour the oil into a shallow dish and add a good pinch of salt. Toss the aubergine in the oil and season with salt. Griddle or fry for about 2-3 minutes a side or until charred and really tender.

To serve open up the pittas and stuff with the eggs, salad and aubergines. Drizzle over loads of the green tahini and add chilli sauce to taste.
