Sabich

Sabich (Template:Lang-he) is a food of Middle Eastern origins popular in Israel. It was first brought to Israel by the Iraqi Jews, who used to eat it on Saturday morning.

Etymology

Some say the name is derived from 'Sabah', which means 'morning' in Arabic. A vendor in Ramat Gan claims it originated after his name [1] while a competing vendor claims Sabich is the Hebrew acronym for Salad (סלט), Egg (ביצה), More Eggplant (יותר חציל)‎[2]

Ingredients

Sabich, served in a pita bread wrap, traditionally contains fried eggplant, hard boiled eggs, hummus, tahini, Israeli salad and amba (a mango pickle). Sometimes it is doused with harif hot sauce and sprinkled with minced onion.
