- Hummus
What is the most famous Jewish dish? Of course, hummus. Hummus is prepared from chickpeas, sesame paste, thina and spices. Hummus is rich in proteins and minerals, and therefore useful and nutritious. Hummus should not be ordered in cafes or restaurants. You will find the best hummus in specialized hummus, for example, in the middle of the market in Jerusalem or in Tel Aviv. Fresh, maybe even warm – it will be served with pita cakes, small salads and pickles. And also be sure to bring a jug of water to the meal.
- Falafel
Falafel is a fast food dream for a vegetarian. Nutritious and even useful – falafel can be bought in Israel on almost every corner. Fried chickpea balls, vegetables and spices to choose from – all wrapped in pita or pita. And you are full almost all day. How to choose the best falafel? Along the queue to her!
- Hatsil-ve-thina
“Hatsil” in Hebrew – eggplant. Thina is a sesame paste that is eaten in Israel with almost everything in the world and even just like that, without everything. Thina with roasted eggplant, greens and spices – a particularly good combination. The most delicious “hacil-ve-thina” can be found, as a rule, in small home restaurants.
- Shakshuka
The easiest way to say that shakshuka is scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which the Israelis eat for breakfast. But not everything is so simple. Shakshuk has more than a dozen ingredients, including roasted red peppers, tomatoes, spices and lots and lots of greens. Shakshuk is usually served in a cast iron skillet. Portions are usually more than enough for two (by the way, in Israel everything is served in very large portions). Thina is ideal as a sauce for shakshuk.
- Sabih
Sabikh came to Israel from Iraq. Traditionally, Iraqi Jews ate it on the morning of Shabbat (“sabah” in Arabic – morning). Sabikh is a sandwich made of eggplant, potatoes, vegetables and sauces fried according to a special recipe. If you are not afraid of spicy – agree on sabih with mango sauce amba!
