Preparation:
First, prepare the shatta sauce. Mix the chilies with the salt and let stand for three days. Then put the chiles in a food processor with the apple cider vinegar and lemon juice and coarsely puree. Pour into a container and add olive oil to cover it.
Tip:
If you don’t have three days to marinate the chiles in salt, don’t worry, just follow the steps for a quick version. Next, prepare the tahini sauce. Transfer tahini, water, and garlic to blender and process until well blended. If you want a more runny sauce, you can add more water. Meanwhile, place the cauliflower pieces on a tray and toss with the paprika, cumin, cinnamon, olive oil, and salt to taste. Put in the oven and cook for 20 minutes or until done. Then heat the loaves. Then place them on a surface, put on top of each bread a tablespoon of Greek yogurt and a tablespoon of the tahini sauce in the center; On top place some lettuce leaves, some sprouts, some cucumber slices, some cauliflower pieces, some egg pieces, feta cheese, shatta sauce and more tahini sauce to taste. Fold in two turns to cover the filling and finish rolling in parchment paper.
