Malawach

Common card · No. 468480

Malawach or melawwaḥ (Hebrew: מלוואח), is a Jewish Yemenite flatbread that is traditional in Yemeni cuisine and Israeli cuisine. The name of the dish comes from the Arabic "ملوح", literally “board-like bread”. It was brought to Israel by Yemenite Jews whose population no longer exists in Yemen. Malawach resembles a thick pancake but consists of thin layers of puff pastry brushed with oil or fat and cooked flat in a frying pan. It is traditionally served with hard-boiled eggs, zhug, and resek agvaniyot. Sometimes it is served with honey.
