Sabich Sandwich

It’s an Iraqi-Israeli creation that features fried eggplant and hard-boiled eggs stuffed into a pita pocket along with chopped tomatoes and cucumbers, hummus, tahini, and an amba (mango) sauce. The flavor combination is a real winner. The word sabich comes from the Arabic word for morning and it’s thought that the sandwich got its name because it was a typical Iraqi Jewish breakfast item. Because no cooking is allowed on the Sabbath, the Iraqi Jews ate this sandwich made of cold, pre-cooked items. These days, it’s eaten all day and is commonly sold by street vendors as fast food in open-air markets.
