Eetch

(Eech, Itch, Metch, Mock Kheyma)

Eetch is a traditional dish mainly consisting of bulgur. It is typically consumed as a salad, a side dish, or as a spread over slices of bread or crackers. A common Lenten dish, eetch, also known as mock kheyma or meatless kheyma, has numerous variations, but the typical ingredients include fine bulgur, onions, tomatoes, tomato paste, bell peppers, lemon juice, olive oil, green onions, parsley, spices, and seasonings, incorporated well to make a robust and fragrant dish.


Tangy, sweet, and savory, the bulgur mixture is consumed warm, at room temperature, or chilled, usually drizzled with some olive oil and garnished with chopped parsley, green onions, and (sometimes) pomegranate seeds. Reminiscent in flavor of the Levantine dish known as tabbouleh, eetch is commonly eaten with pita bread and makes a perfect accompaniment to grilled or roasted meat or fish dishes.
