Sabich - Home grown oops... made

Oh yea!
Tasted as good as it looks!

Felafel and Sabich

Crispy light and delicious
I cut the aubergines/eggplant to thick 1.5 cm thick for a good "steak'
My son likes them super thin as served on the streets in Tel Aviv.
BTW, I don't always bother or have time or mood to salt the aubergines.
If you can, sprinkle lightly salt, no need to wash off.
Dip in flour
Then dip in thick batter (water, flour, salt - whizz in blender to thick cream consistency)
Fry in very hot pre-heated oil

Don't think twice.  Cooked the whole batch.
Below the secret is revealed on how to re-heat to crispy fresh perfection!

Squish in freshly made salad, chili flakes and we're done!

Home made humus, fried onions and mushrooms to top,
Paprika and coriander for garnish

Crazy good

When in the mood for Sabich, felafel is a good companion

Secret is out!:
best way of re-heating sabich is in the toaster!! along with the pitta.
The sabich comes out hot and toasty crisp. Perfect!

Aubergine - Eggplant

Classic aubergine - wrapped in foil on the stove for a ridiculously long time.  Scoop when soft and ready, add tehina.  Delicious!

Celery bulb Root Salad

From the "Middle Eastern Vegetarian Cook book" Salma..

Celery Bulb root, peeled and washed.- julienne sticks
Kohlrabi - peeled and washed - sliced thinly
Chopped corriander

Dressing 1: (original from the book)
yoghurt, lemon juice, salt, mustard,- mix, dress and rest.

Dressing 2: (my preference)
Vinegar, sugar, salt, - mix, dress and rest.

This salad actually tastes better when it  can rest in the dressing for a while.  Will not go soggy but absorbs and develops quite a "bite".  Like pickles.

Sumac or nigella seeds or black sesame for garnish.
Very crunchy salad.

Surprisingly very nice!  The celery bulb was a new one for me.  Also doing something with Kohlrabi that was interesting was a plus too.
I later added carrots for colour and taste, Worked great!!
I'm guessing that any of your favourite "root" veggie would work wonders here.
Left on the table, the whole family just pecked at it randomly.
