3. Challah with Schnitzel, Matbukha and Eggplant

This harmonic dish exemplifies the local ‘melting pot’ of Israeli cuisine: Austrian schnitzel, slices of Eastern European challah, spicy red North African matbukha, fried eggplant slices from the Balkans, and a thick layer of tahini that ties everything together.

Time needed: Approximately 2 hours, 2 hours for the challah dough to rise and 30 minutes to cook
