5 Dishes You Cannot Miss To Try in Israel

Israeli cuisine has been shaped by the melting pot of cultures that make up the country. From traditional Jewish Eastern-European stews to street food brought over by Jewish Iraqi immigrants, these delicious Israeli dishes reflect the diversity of its population and will appeal to all tastes.

* Shakshuka

Shakshuka is one of Israel’s most popular dishes, typically served for breakfast or brunch. Hot, hearty and filling, it is based on a tomato and pepper sauce spiced with cumin and chilli flakes, with poached eggs on top and a sprinkling of parsley. Advanced level: try a hummus-shakshuka, which is exactly what it sounds like: a bowl of hummus with shakshuka in the middle. You can thank us later.

* Jachnun

Jachnun is a Jewish dish originating from Yemen, traditionally eaten on Shabbat mornings. Prepared using dough, it is rolled up and baked overnight. The final product is a dark, amber coloured pastry, slightly sweet in taste. Served with a tomato dip, boiled eggs, and skhug (hot sauce), Jachnun is a must-try when in Israel.

* Malawach

Malawach is a Yemenite Jewish pancake. It is fried pastry that can be eaten sweet, with honey, or savoury, with hard-boiled egg, tomato dip, and zhug (spicy dip). It can also be served like a wrap (memulawach), filled with delicious ingredients such as tehina, hummus, hard boiled egg, eggplant, fried onion, pickles and more. For great malawach,head to Jachnun Bar in Jerusalem’s Machane Yehuda market.

* Knafeh

This is a delicious Palestinian dessert common throughout Israel. A sweet, cheesy pastry, knafeh is soaked in sugar syrup, flavoured with orange or rose water, and sprinkled with chopped pistachios.

* Israeli breakfast

No one ever leaves the table hungry after a proper Israeli breakfast. Typically consisting of an omelette, an Israeli salad, small pots containing different cheeses, tuna, and olives, a selection of breads, and a fresh orange juice and an afuch (Israeli cappuccino), Israeli breakfasts are healthy, filling and delicious.
