- 1 tomato
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- Yogurt (for the sauce)
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Turmeric, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Vegetables:
- Wash the eggplant, zucchini, and potato thoroughly. Slice them into thin, even rounds to ensure even cooking.
- Finely chop the garlic and set it aside.
Cook the Vegetables:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
- Add the potato slices to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and tender.
- Repeat the same process with the eggplant and zucchini slices until soft and lightly caramelized.
- Add the chopped garlic to the skillet during the last minute of cooking and sauté until fragrant.
Season the Vegetables:
- Sprinkle the cooked vegetables with salt, turmeric, and black pepper. Toss gently in the skillet to evenly coat the slices with seasoning.
Assemble the Burger:
- Start by layering the potato slices on the bottom bun or bread slice.
- Add a layer of eggplant slices, followed by zucchini slices.
- Place slices of fresh tomato on top of the cooked vegetables.
- Top with a dollop of yogurt and a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for a refreshing finish.
Serve:
- Place the top bun or second slice of bread over the layered vegetables.
- Serve warm with a side salad, roasted veggies, or dipping sauce for a complete meal.
Notes
- To make this recipe vegan, replace yogurt with coconut yogurt or vegan dressing.
- For an extra layer of flavor, sprinkle some chili flakes over the vegetables before assembling.
- You can bake the vegetables instead of frying for a healthier twist—roast them at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes.
