Sabih or Sabich was once a humble
breakfast and has now become a trendy delicacy. When served fresh and
hot, it really is addictive. While hummus, falafel, and even shawarma has all the fame, one of the more affordable and
tastier dishes sabih pita sandwich remains one of the country’s
best kept secrets. When
debating on the national dish of Israel, most will say its falafel, while sabih,
its lesser known cousin –has been declared as the national dish by many
Israelis. And the ultimate Israeli street
food Sabih is in strong competition with falafel.
So what is
this sabih pita sandwich all about? It is a glorious synergy between pita
bread, egg, eggplant, and vegetable salad, with humus tahini, and amba. Sabih is an Israeli sandwich made by stuffing pita
with thin strips of lightly fried
eggplant, hard-boiled egg, potato, tomato, cucumber, onion, parsley, tahini,
hummus, amba (pickled
mango sauce), and hot sauce. All the ingredients are layered so that with every
bite you get a little bit of each component. The exceptional
ingredients are the addition of tahini and amba sauces.
Sabih is
an Israeli preparation of all that’s right in the
Mediterranean culinary world – fresh hot pitas, fragrant fried eggplant, fresh
salads with herbs and loads of savory sauces. Sliced egg adds texture and
protein, and makes this the perfect Israeli-style meal for vegetarians. The
super cool marbling technique on the hard boiling eggs doesn’t hurt either. It’s typically eaten for breakfast and it is SO good. It’s
totally acceptable to eat this breakfast, lunch or dinner. It’s
an everything sandwich!
