Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C Fan and spread the pita into a baking tray, toasting for 10–15 minutes until crisp.
Slice the eggplant into cubes, add 2 tbsp of oil and salt to taste, then bake or fry until cooked and brown on the ends.
Warm the oil in a wide heavy-based saucepan and cook the onion, then add the lamb meat, spices, salt, black pepper, tomato, and tomato paste, simmering for 20 minutes on low heat.
In a heatproof bowl, beat together the yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt, which will later sit over a saucepan.
Assemble the dish by arranging the crisp pita as the first layer, topping with the roasted eggplant, followed by the cooked lamb with sauce, and finally the yogurt-tahini sauce. Sprinkle with parsley, sumac, pomegranate seeds, and toasted pine nuts.
