Number Of Ingredients 12

1 small eggplant, cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
3 small zucchini, cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 cup cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed if using canned
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
8 small pita pockets
