Sabich (sandwich)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sabich

A sabich (Hebrew: סביח [saˈbiχ]) is an Israeli sandwich . It consists of a pita bread that is filled with boiled eggs, fried aubergines, tomatoes and cucumbers, tahini , mango-curry sauce or the S-chug seasoning sauce . It is considered the traditional breakfast of Iraqi Jews on the Sabbath , but is also offered as street food across the country .

origin

According to stories, Sabich Tsvi Halabi (1938-2012), a Jewish refugee from Iraq, was the first to sell Sabich in Ramat Gan in 1961 . His kiosk was in Bar-Ilan Park, 60 Uziel Street, at the terminus of a bus route. The bus drivers and conductors were Halabi's first customers, they are said to have introduced the name of the court as they always addressed the seller by first name. Sabich was already known and loved among the large numbers of Iraqi Jews who immigrated to Israel during the 1940s and 1950s as a cold breakfast on the Sabbath morning, as religious Jews could not cook on the Sabbath and it could be prepared well. The fact that Sabich is often served with mango curry sauce is said to be due to close ties between Jewish traders in Iraq and Indians. Another theory about the origin of the word Sabich says that the consonants of the word SBH mean "salat, beitzah, hazilim", Hebrew for salad, egg, aubergine. Another theory is that the name should come from the Arabic word for “tomorrow” (صباح [sˤaˈbaːħ], “sabach”).

preparation

The basis of the Sabich is a pita bread. It is opened on one side and filled with fried eggplant slices, Israeli salad made from finely chopped cucumbers and tomatoes, parsley, pickled or pickled cucumbers and hard-boiled egg. Sabich is traditionally seasoned with tahini, a thin sesame paste, and s-chug (hot green sauce made from chillies, garlic and coriander), but also with mango sauce.
