Soften the onion in olive oil for 5 minutes until lightly pink.
Cut the eggplants and tomatoes into small cubes.
Add the cracked wheat, eggplant, tomatoes, parsley, and spices to the pot.
Add the hot water, cover, and soften the mixture for 8 minutes.
Let the mixture cool for 10 minutes, then shape it into palm-sized pieces.
Loosen the tomato paste with olive oil and brush it over the tumbi pieces.
Bake the tumbi at 180°C for 25 minutes until browned.
💡 Tip: Adding the cracked wheat to the hot mixture helps it hold its shape in the oven without falling apart.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm or at room temperature as an olive oil meze without yogurt.
