Sabich (Template:Lang-he) is an oriental food popular in Israel. It was first brought to Israel by the Iraqi Jews, who used to eat it every Saturday morning. Its name is derived from 'SabaH', 'morning' in Iraqi Arabic. Some claim that Sabich is actually an acronym for Salad, Egg, More Eggplant (in Hebrew) and one vendor in Ramat Gan claims it originated after his name [citation needed].
Sabich is served as a filling ingredient in a pita bread wrap (i.e. sandwich), containing:
- peeled fried eggplant
- hard-boiled eggs (browned)
- Hummus
- Tahini
- Simple vegetable (tomato and cucumber) salad
- Amba (condiment) (a mango pickle).
- chili sauce (optional)
- Minced onion
Ramat Gan, in Israel is known for having many residents of Iraqi descent and for a long time Sabich was barely known beyond these confines. Today, many falafel stands offer Sabich and some kiosks focus specifically on this dish.
