Mix. Put tomatoes in a fine sieve set over a bowl plus toss using a generous pinch of salt. Leave to stand 30 minutes. Heat 5–6 mm oil in a big skillet over a medium-high flame till shimmering while that is happening. Working a batch after another if you need to, fry eggplant slices, rotating for even browning plus turning once halfway through, till golden on both sides and tender throughout, around 5 minutes; lower heat if oil begins in order to smoke. Move eggplant to a paper towel–lined baking tray and scatter with salt. Move tomatoes to a mid-sized bowl and discard drained liquid. Tip in cucumber, lemon juice, plus parsley to tomatoes. Season farmers salad using salt till it tastes right and mix well. Toss cabbage with vinegar and add salt till it tastes right in a mid-sized bowl. In every pita pocket, smear 3 tablespoons (45ml) of hummus so it sits level. Layer 2 to 3 slices fried eggplant upon top of every. Drizzle every using 1 tablespoon (15ml) tahini sauce, next top with sliced eggs, pickles, and leftover tahini sauce. Spoon some of this farmers salad plus seasoned cabbage in every pita, drizzle using amba, plus offer.
