2. Peel the skin off the eggplant under cold running water and mash with a fork in a medium sized bowl. Gently mix in the garlic, tahini, lemon juice, greek yoghurt and season with sea salt. Mix until well combined then top with the olive oil and set aside.
3 .In a large bowl combine the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, coriander and flat leaf parsley. Toss until well combined and set aside.
4. Gently cut along the pita bread edge to create a pocket. Spread the eggplant dip inside the pocket, fill with 3 falafels, a good spoon of the mixed salad and dil pickles.
