4          hard-boiled eggs, sliced

1/2       teaspoon sumac, plus additional for serving, divided (optional)
1          cucumber, diced
3          Roma tomatoes, diced
1/3       cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/2       lemon, juice only
4          whole-grain pita breads with pockets
1/2       cup hummus
2          cups shredded red cabbage
1          medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/4       cup Amba pickled mango sauce (optional)
1/4       cup tahini

Drain beets and onions; set aside.

Wash eggplant. Slice into 3/8-inch-thick pieces. Place slices on cooling rack. Add 2 teaspoons salt to slices to draw out extra moisture. Let sit 10 minutes. Pat extra moisture off.

In large 14-inch skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once oil is hot, place eggplant slices in oil; fry until browned, about 3 minutes per side, in batches of four pieces. Place on paper towel-lined plate to absorb additional oil.

Season hard-boiled egg slices with salt and pepper, to taste. Season with 1/2 teaspoon za'atar and sumac, if desired. Set aside.

To make salad: In medium bowl, combine cucumber, tomatoes, parsley, lemon juice and remaining za'atar. Set aside.

Gently slice one end of each pita and open pocket. In microwave on high, heat pitas 10 seconds. Place equal amounts fried eggplant in each pita. Spread 2 tablespoons hummus in each pita. Gently layer one-fourth of egg slices, beets and onions, cabbage, Israeli salad and green peppers in each pita.

Drizzle each sabich with about 1 tablespoon amba sauce, if desired, and 1 tablespoon tahini. Season with additional salt and pepper or sumac and Za'atar, if desired.
