Sabich or sabih ( ; Judeo-Iraqi Arabic: ) is a sandwich of pita or laffa bread stuffed with fried eggplants, hard-boiled eggs, chopped salad, parsley, amba and tahini sauce. It is a staple of Jewish-Iraqi cuisine and was created by Iraqi Jews in Israel in the 1960s.
Its ingredients are based on a traditional quick breakfast of Iraqi Jews; while in Iraq, the ingredients were served separately, the modern sabich, where all of them are eaten together in a sandwich, was created in Israel, where it is sold in many businesses.
