Grill the lamb or beef over medium-high heat until cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

Allow the eggplant to cool, then peel and mash it in a bowl.

Mix the mashed eggplant with yogurt, minced garlic, and a drizzle of olive oil until smooth.

Finely chop the onion and sauté in olive oil until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add diced tomatoes and red pepper to the onion, cooking until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Season the tomato mixture with spices, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Slice the grilled meat into thin strips or cubes.

Spread the eggplant-yogurt mixture on a serving platter.

Top with the sautéed tomato mixture and then the grilled meat.

Drizzle with melted butter and garnish with chopped parsley and lemon juice.

Serve with warm pita bread on the side.
