Iija time

[SEEING-TO-BELIEVE]

i love iija. it's a patty made of eggs, grated potatoes, spices, green onions and shallow fried.

i bought it in a baguette and ate it cold. when it's cold it's more firm.

inside is white cabbage, 'prepared tahini', onions, hot chutney pickles and fried eggplants.

one of my favorite foods........

It sounds delicious.

Both those fillings sound great! Are they both in the same baguette?
Or did you buy two? I would have probably bought two, not being able to make up my mind which I liked best.

 

[SEEING-TO-BELIEVE]

yes both the eggplants and iija in

Where is this iija from? I looked it up to find a recipe (though it'd be pretty easy to replicate from what you said, sounds similar to if you mixed a frittata/hash brown) but after a quick internet search I found nothing on this lovely morsel.

@SEEING-TO-BELIEVE, do you mind writing iija in Hebrew? If I had the original spelling I might be able to find a translation or a different transliteration that might yield some internet search results, even in English.
