Salads and Dips in Pita
Shakshuka b'Pita (שקשוקה בפיתה)
Shakshuka b'Pita takes the shared pan of eggs poached in spiced tomato sauce and packs it into a warm pita pocket, turning an Israeli brunch into something carried in one hand.
Salat Chatzilim b'Pita (סלט חצילים בפיתה)
Over the flame the eggplant blackens to a smoke-soaked pulp, and that is the filling: salat chatzilim, the cooked-eggplant salad bound with tahini or mayonnaise, the meat-substitute aubergine in pita.
Salat b'Pita (סלט בפיתה)
The vegetable pita: salat katzutz, the finely diced Israeli chopped salad, cut fine enough to be the whole filling, lined with tahini so the bread holds. The falafel-stand order minus the falafel.
Matbucha b'Pita (מטבוחה בפיתה)
Cooked tomato-pepper salad in pita.
Israeli Salad (סלט ישראלי)
Finely diced tomato, cucumber, onion, parsley, lemon, olive oil.
Israeli Salad b'Pita (סלט ישראלי בפיתה)
The chopped salad as the whole filling: finely diced tomato, cucumber, and onion dressed late so it stays firm, packed into a tahini-lined pita. A dish whose name is as contested as its contents.
