Hawawshi is a traditional Egyptian dish featuring spiced ground meat, often a mix of beef or lamb, stuffed into flatbread and baked until crispy. The flavorful filling typically includes onions, garlic, hot peppers, and a blend of aromatic spices such as cumin, coriander, paprika, and cinnamon, creating a savory and satisfying taste. Originating in Egyptian street food culture, hawawshi is widely enjoyed for its portability and rich flavor. While it provides a good source of protein from the meat, it can be high in fat depending on the chosen cut of meat and cooking method. Whole-grain bread options and leaner meat alternatives can make it a healthier choice. Served alone or alongside a fresh cucumber and tomato salad, hawawshi strikes a balance between indulgence and nutritional value, offering a hearty glimpse into Egyptian cuisine.
