Hawawshi (Egypt) on Sandwiches of History
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 сер 2024
- Finally getting around to make the Hawawshi. It’s a sandwich beloved in Egypt despite it not being terribly old. Apparently invented but Cairo-based butcher Achmed Al Hawash in 1971, it has caught on not only in Cairo, but in Egypt and around the region as well. Warm spices and fresh chopped ingredients are mixed into lean ground beef, then stuffed into a half pita and baked. That’s right the meat is baked in the pita. The results are a Mediterranean meatloaf of deliciousness that you carry on the go. Btw, if you’re tempted to comment that this isn’t a sandwich, may I humbly ask you not to? I could go into how technically it is given the thickness of the two side of the pita are the same but the seam is not and how therefore the seam is just an accusation to hold things in. But I’m not going to. Instead, I am going encourage you to open your mind to the deliciousness that is this sandwich. I’ve provided links below to the recipes from @TheMediterraneanDish if you want to try either the Hawawhi or the Tahini Sauce (if you’re reading this on Instagram or TikTok, I’ve added the links to my Linktree (see bio)).

The crunch alone, sold me.
I have been to Egypt twice and sandwich culture is alive. I had a number of pita sandwiches and I will 100% try the Hawawshi.
here is an idea,
every tasty sandwich that scores above 7, should go into a playlist.
that way, i ... and a lot of other people will have a sure fire way of making a quick meal throughout the week.
Your channel is a goldmine as is, but this is my suggestion to ... plus it up a little bit.
Just today I was looking for a list like that.
I see what you did there. Nice. And I do love that idea. Maybe after I turn in my cookbook on the 15th I'll fire that up.
It is so rare to see a food vid where the host is eating it at the 1:30 mark. I'll be making this for tea tonight, cheers!
The sounds that followed after taking that initial bite certainly had me believing it is a keeper lol
Looks like a kofta in a pita
I've been, VERY slowly but surely, been making a dish from every African country over the past few months. Made the hawawshi not long ago, but I made the outer dough from scratch. Gosh it was so good. I sprinkled the top of the dough with sesame seeds and black cumin seeds.
This puts the "waw" in Hawawshi! Those inhalations after the first bite told me all I needed to know.
That look you got after biting into the sandwich says it all.
Oh my LORD... this seems absolutely divine. I feel like there's so much versatility with it too, like instead of tahini sauce you could add a bit of heat to it - or heck, if you're feeling bold, then maybe some horseradish sauce. (Not prepared - the sauce is the stuff with mayo and other things in it)
10! 10! 10! My NEW favourite sandwich! I'm making this right now!
I'd imagine that some of the locals spread a little tahini on that sandwich as well - probably several different kinds of condiments. -Knew this one was going to be yummy.
WOW THAT'S A GENIUS IDEA!!!!
I never thought of putting in the mince in the bread then cooking it all together in the oven. I will definitely try this once things get a better!!!
Nice to see you make something that doesn't make you gag every once in a while!
Pretty tasty looking hamburger-ish sandwich!Have to give this one a go!
Seeing it go into the oven you just know its going to be amazing
this looks incredible. once again, the International Sandwiches win! your plus-up sounds perfect.
Ill be making these as burgers on the grill this Saturday. Wow!
I’ve never had this but I LOVE Egyptian cuisine. The spices they use makes their food so flavorful. I think the only plus up I would do with this ( depending on the flavor) is just a tiny bit of sliced onion.
Love the way this channel introduces me to sandwiches that I've never heard of, and I now crave desperately. This one looks so simple too. Going to have to make it. Keep up the excellent videos :)
Oh yeah... brilliant idea of cooking the meat INSIDE the pita...will wonders never cease~
I knew this one was going to be good with increasing confidence at each ingredient, and you know even more that the sandwich is a winner when all you do to plus it up is add a single tasty sauce. After the nightmare from Jan 2 it's nice to have a solid 10 on the board already too!
I would absolutely destroy this, it looks SO good.
Brilliant plus up and the sandwich on its own sounds delicious, too!
I would make that for dinner but mister stomach already has his sites set on the olive cheese 😂
I sincerely hope this is included in your cookbook, that I have preordered. If not I see another on the horizon.
Alas, it did make this one. Hopefully there will be a Sandwiches of History 2: This time it's personal lol
delish
Whoa I am going to make this!
That excess moisture from the ground onion, peppers, and parsley is packed with flavor and would be really, really good mixed with tomato juice for a little afternoon pick-me-up.
Also would be good in a lot of ground beef recipes, like meatloaf or stuffed cabbage.
I like the way you think. Doing that next time.
For a plus-up, I would actually borrow something from north a bit - I bet a slather of cooling tzatziki would be great too!
I swapped ‘Impossible Meat’ for the lamb (and added more oil), it was great!
Nice!
I know you've done a version of a crisp sandwich from New Zealand, but you need to have a crisp sandwich from Ireland. Tayto Cheese and Onion Crisps, Irish butter and white bread. That's it. Simple and Glorious! You can also spice things up by putting a slice of ham in there too. It's a true Irish delicacy
Have I got a present for you...ua-cam.com/video/I29-r2hMxaw/v-deo.html
@@SandwichesofHistory Hahaha fantastic!
Me, spacing out at the beginning: Wait, jalapenos? In Egypt? Oh, 1971, right.
Looks tasty
Looks like a great pita Thx for the video
This looks amazing! 😋
Woooowwwwww!!! Looks awesome!
being vegan, I make a variation of this with mushrooms, walnuts, and chickpeas, in place of the meat. It's an absolute FAVE.
Reminds me of tacos dorados where you put raw seasoned meat into a tortilla then fry. Meat + bread is a universal good meal.
You just had to close that drawer before launching into this. 😂
But sandwich looks delish.
That sounds really good!
Beautimous!! Both options look delish! I'll be trying them both.
ohhh yes tahini...
These are incredible edibles. You made those really well. I really like Mediteranean Dish and Middle Eats. But please check out Muhammed The Egyptian Cook. His hawashi and pretty much everything else is really fantastic. I personally rate my favorite "burgers" as hawashi, mushroom & swiss, chipotle blue cheese, and Oklahoma onion burgers. Hmmm. Maybe I'll try all of them in one combo jumbo burger in pita (good, thick pita!). And with Tahina sauce for certain... That sh*t is great on everything (to borrow a phrase 😅)
But the big question would you make this again? It looks and sounds delish, but a lot of steps.
I would, for sure. It wasn't that bad, step-wise tbh.
I'm vegan but I make this with vegan mince (sometimes beyond meat, sometimes another brand but similar). It's such a great party slider. I got the idea from the channel MiddleEats which is great for all kinds of dishes from the region.
Also, my father (my whole family is white Dutch but I grew up in a multicultural urban neighbourhood) used to make this for parties when I was a kid and it was always my favourite
I recommend middle east eats UA-cam channel
Isn’t that almost exactly the same as the Lebanese arayes? There’s a few more spices in the version of arayes that I’ve made, but otherwise, it’s the same. I use the recipe created by Obi on the YT channel MiddleEats, so I’m sure he could answer any questions you may have on the origins of his recipe. Regardless, the sandwich is delicious.
U plused it up withtaziki
no...tahini sauce ua-cam.com/video/9N0W1MEYXAM/v-deo.html . Tatziki would be tasty though.
Pair with a Lager?
I mean, yes!
Is a pita bread a sandwich? Always considered It to be it's own thing e.g. is a bagel a sandwich?
SIEVE WATCH: INTERNATIONAL
Where’s the salt?
Didn't need it. And I like my salt.
20 minutes is way too long for pitta bread,
Not too long if what you’re looking for is really crisp pita bread. If you want soft pita, maybe cook the filling first? It will probably be great either way.
Not sure I understand your comment. The meat inside the pita needs to cook fully. And in process, the pita crisped up nicely.
@@SandwichesofHistory my point is pitta cooks very quickly, 5 minutes at the most, after 20 minutes it turns to dust,
cooking the meat separately is the answer
