About Hawawshi
Hawawshi is a popular street food from Egyptian cuisine, often compared to stuffed pita or meat pie. It consists of spiced ground meat, typically beef or lamb, mixed with onions, parsley, garlic, and a blend of aromatic spices like cumin and coriander. This flavorful mixture is stuffed into pita bread or dough and baked until golden and crispy. While Hawawshi is rich in protein from the meat, it can be calorie-dense depending on the fat content of the meat and the cooking method used. Some versions are fried, contributing to higher fat content, whereas baked Hawawshi is a lighter option. The onions, parsley, and spices provide vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, adding to its nutritional value. Pairing it with a fresh salad or yogurt-based dip is a popular way to balance the meal and enhance its health benefits.
