Spinach & feta pita with mutabbal

This recipe is inspired by a meal served at a Syrian restaurant. If you have time, prepare also the hummus and the pita bread yourself, but the real star of this meal is the eggplant sauce mutabbal. If you have a smoker, use it to prepare the eggplant. Otherwise you might want to add some liquid smoke in the sauce. The recipe is for 8 pita breads - for a main course count 1,5 or 2 per person.
