Lablabi or lablebi (لبلابي) is a traditional Tunisian dish based on chickpeas in a thin garlic- and cumin-flavored broth, served over small pieces of stale crusty bread.[1] It is a staple comfort food in Tunisia and is also found in variations in Iraq and other parts of the Middle East.
The name derives from the Turkish word leblebi, meaning grilled chickpeas.[2]
Variations
[edit | edit source]- Hergma: A traditional version made with cow's trotters, adding richness to the broth.
- Bizerte Lablabi:[3] A sandwich variation popular in northern Tunisia, made by stuffing a baguette with the chickpea mixture and toppings.
- Iraqi Lablabi:[4] A simple dish of chickpeas in broth.
Cultural significance
[edit | edit source]Lablabi was originally a winter breakfast dish, but it is now enjoyed at any time of the day, year-round. It is particularly popular among young people as a late-night meal, often consumed to mitigate the effects of alcohol after a night out.[5]
