The Sabih - An Iconic Israeli Street Food Becomes A New Favorite!


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!

The sabih at Habayit event catering restaurant in Los Angeles is magically delicious. To top it o, bowls filled with pickled cabbage and other vegetables are given, creating the perfect balance of flavors. For those that like it hot, a teaspoon of green or red crushed pepper sauce is added at the beginning, following the hummus, or at the end. Making sabih sounds simple enough, but preparing it just right is an art form that few truly master. And Habayit kosher restaurant is the true masters of this culinary art. Although falafel is our most popular specialty, sabih is one of its delicious rival.

Baba Ganush – A Must Try Mediterranean Dip!

Everyone loves hummus, but have you tried other Mediterranean dips like Baba Ganush? It’s freaking amazing. Baba means “dad” in Arabic and Ganush means “spoiled” which refers to someone who is lucky to get spoilt by its smooth, creamy goodness. It is the second most popular Middle Eastern cuisine after hummus which is enjoyed as a dipping appetizer with hints of other flavors such as garlic or lemon.
Baba Ganush is a roasted eggplant dip that is creamy & savory, and like much of the Mediterranean food, it makes a healthy addition to your diet. The simple, yet delicious dip consists of a mix of roasted eggplant, tahini, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice. This dish is a good source of fiber and healthy fat.
Also, the stuff has proven to be fairly versatile so far. It has worked its way into sandwiches both warm and cold, in addition to being a dip. The dip is best with roasted veggies, alongside your falafels or as a scrumptious savory spread. It is a mouth-watering grain and pulse free option that will satisfy all your dipping needs.
And, if you are looking for reasons to eat more veggies; yes! Baba Ganush is the reason. With a combination of eggplant, parsley, lemon juice, salt and tahini, how can you wrong with Baba Ganush? This dip is a great addition if you’re hosting some guests. Or a great dip with pita bread (it’s actually super filling!). It adds an extra something to an otherwise plain dish.YUM!
