Sabich
Serving: Sabich in a pita (~280 g)
Sabich packs fried eggplant, hard-boiled egg, salads, tahini and amba into a pita. It is vegetarian but the fried eggplant and tahini give it a substantial calorie load.
Nutrition per serving
Good to know
- The fried eggplant absorbs oil, which is the biggest single calorie source.
- Amba and tahini add flavor and a fair amount of fat.
- The egg and chickpea pita together still keep it meat-free but filling.
Logging tip
Tahini and amba amounts vary a lot — a photo lets Nishnush read your specific sabich.
