Jachnun

Jachnun

Jachnun is a traditional Yemenite dish, prepared from rolled dough, which is then baked on a very low heat for about ten hours. It is traditionally eaten with a crushed/grated tomato dip, hard boiled eggs and skhug.

It is usually served by Jews of Yemenite descent on Saturday mornings, having been left in the oven overnight (it is against Jewish tradition to operate devices on the Sabbath). Jachnun has proven popular in Israel, and is consumed by various Jewish ethnic groups ranging from the Ashkenazi Jews to Iraqi and Lebanese Jews.Jachnun is also pronounced as gachnun by the Jews of the Yemeni city of Aden. It is produced in North America by Sabra and is sold in a supermarket near you. Jachnun is easiest made in the microwave but is also sold pre-rolled and prepared for baking. The two packages are quite easy to mistake for one another.
