Hawawshi (sometimes spelled hawwaoshi; Egyptian Arabic: حواوشي; IPA: [ħæˈwæwʃi]) is a traditional Egyptian dish. It is a pita stuffed with minced meat and spiced with onions, pepper, parsley, and occasionally chilies. The major variants of hawawshi are "baladi" (standard) and Alexandrian.[1] In most of Egypt, it is baked by filling the flat Egyptian bread with the meat mix and then baking it in the oven. In Alexandria, the ingredients are placed between two circular layers of dough, then baked in an oven.[2] Alexandrian hawawshi also usually have different spices and seasonings.[1] Hawawshi has spread to other countries in the Middle East and North Africa with some variation. In the Levant, it is made using saj bread and includes hot peppers in the filling.[3] In Algeria, it is known as "muhajib" and is eaten with soup or a yoghurt salad.[3]

History

Hawawshi was invented in 1971 by an Egyptian butcher named Ahmed al-Hawawsh .[1][3][4] From his stall in the Souk Al-Tawfik neighborhood in Cairo, hawawshi spread throughout Cairo and then to the rest of Egypt.[1] Since al-Hawawsh's death, hawawshi have become especially popular in Sharqia Governorate in the Nile Delta, where the best hawawshi are reported to be found.[1][3]

Hawawshi (a veces escrito Hawwaoshi; árabe egipcio: حواوشي; IPA: [ħæˈwæwʃi]) es un plato tradicional egipcio. Es una pita rellena de carne picada y condimentada con cebolla, pimienta, perejil y, en ocasiones, chiles.[1] En la mayor parte de Egipto, se hornea rellenando el pan plano egipcio con la mezcla de carne y luego horneando en el horno.[2] En Alejandría, los ingredientes se colocan entre dos capas circulares de masa y luego se hornean en un horno. Hawawshi se fabrica comúnmente en casas egipcias y también se sirve en algunos restaurantes, generalmente como comida para llevar.[1] [3]
