To make a Middle Eastern salad, you will need tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, fresh parsley and lemon juice. Tahini sauce can be made quickly by combining tahini paste, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and water. Boiled eggs are one of the key ingredients in sabich, but be sure to boil them ahead of time so they’re ready. One large eggplant yields 4 fried pita slices. Fry in neutral oil and sprinkle with salt.
You’ll need to spread hummus on the inside of each pita, but you can buy it at the store or make it at home if you prefer. Sabich is also traditionally made with Israeli pickled vegetables, which include ingredients such as cauliflower, turnips, carrots, lemon, celery, beets, and cabbage. If you can’t find them or don’t want to make your own, you can substitute pickled vegetables or dill pickles for similar results. Amba sauce can be made at home with a little patience during your downtime, or you can purchase it online or at a Middle Eastern grocery store. Finally, you’ll need a pita to house all of these delicious ingredients.
