Sabich is a Middle Eastern vegetarian sandwich that is hearty and satisfying, and has so much flavour. The spicy vivid green zhug adds a real punch of flavour, with fresh herbs, chilli, and citrus coming together to tingle your tastebuds. The tahini sauce adds a creamy richness to the sabich, and soaks into the fried aubergine slices making each bite ooze with flavour. A good sabich should stuffed to the brim with flavourful fillings, and can either been enjoyed warm, or wrapped up and taken on the go for picnics or packed lunches. Sabich is part of our low calorie meals collection.
