Sabih, From Yotam Ottolenghi Cookbook, Jerusalem

I have been enjoying the Yotam Ottolenghi’s great Middle Eastern cookbook, Jerusalem.

This cookbook contains a lot of delicious recipes, all with great flavors. I like the stories, the pictures and the recipes in this cookbook. If you are looking for new cookbook to add to your mix, this is definitely the one I would recommend! Take a look at Jerusalem Cookbook.

Sabih is a simple, delicious and vegetarian dish. It is great as a main entry. It is a pita, with fried eggplant, eggs, tahini sauce and simple salad, made out of cucumbers, tomatoes, scallions (green onions), parsley, lemon juice and olive oil.

Tahini sauce is made out of tahini paste, water, lemon juice and garlic. It is very a very simple and delicious sauce.

The whole recipe is pretty simple as well. Fry eggplant. Make hard boiled eggs. Make tahini sauce. Make simple veggie salad, with tomatoes, cucumbers, green onions, parsley, lemon juice and olive oil.

Then, make the delicious sandwiches: on a pita, arrange pieces of eggplant, pieces of hard boiled eggs, veggie salad and add some tahini sauce. Extremely easy and pretty delicious!

Here is the full recipe: Sabih Recipe. The recipe also has information on making zhoug, a spicy sauce. I haven’t made it, but I am sure it will also be delicious with this pita sandwich.
