סביח (צלחת ללא פיתה)
Sabich Plate (No Pita)
Yes, with a tweak: request to serve as a plate with all components, but without any pita bread. About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Israeli food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A deconstructed Sabich featuring a generous portion of fried eggplant, hard-boiled eggs, rich tahini sauce, and tangy amba (mango pickle sauce), served as a plate.
Key ingredients
Fried eggplant slices, hard-boiled eggs, tahini (sesame paste), lemon juice, garlic, amba sauce, fresh parsley, olive oil.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request to serve as a plate with all components, but without any pita bread. Ask if amba contains significant added sugar; opt for a low-sugar version if possible.
Say this to the waiter (Hebrew)
בבקשה את הסביח בצלחת, בלי פיתה. האם העמבה מכילה הרבה סוכר? אם כן, אפשר בגרסה דלת סוכר?
Serve the סביח as a plate with all components, but no pita. Does the amba contain significant added sugar? If so, can I have a low-sugar option?
Watch out for
Amba can have significant added sugar; mango is also naturally higher in carbs. Eggplant absorbs a lot of oil when fried, contributing to higher fat and calories.
