But What is a Sabich Sandwich & Where Does it Come From?

The falafel sandwich is arguably the most well-known of all Middle Eastern sandwiches. But the Sabich sandwich, while less well known outside, is just as equally popular in the region. 

It is an Iraqi-Israeli creation that includes fried eggplant, hard-boiled eggs, chopped tomatoes and cucumbers, hummus, tahini, and an amba sauce (mango) all inside a pita pocket.

Special insider secrets: 

The Amba sauce from Teta Foods is more adaptable & versatile than the classic recipe. It can be used as a surprise topping sauce on burgers and hot dogs. With its curry flavor complemented by authentic Indian spices, it could be used as a marinade for chicken.

Ingredients Needed:

  • 4 small eggplants
  • 2 tablespoons oil, more as needed
  • 2 large hard-boiled eggs, sliced
  • 1/4 cup hummus
  • 1/4 cup Teta Foods Tahini Dressing & Dip 
  • 1 cup tomato and cucumber salad
  • 2 tablespoons Teta Foods amba sauce

  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 1/2 cup diced English cucumber
  • 1/4 medium red onion, diced

  • On a plate, place pita pockets and spread the hummus evenly into the pita pockets.
