Hawaij for coffee can vary between vendors’ recipes but typically consists of a mix of ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg. This hearty, warm blend is most commonly enjoyed in a strong Turkish coffee, but here at Delicious Israel we love to use it in other goodies, especially baked goods and desserts! We guarantee this will be your new favorite treat, and are thrilled to share our recipe below.

The borekita, or “little boreka,” is the Iberian Jews’ response to the beloved Turkish street food, the borek. With flaky crust and veggie or cheese filling, these savory bites are perfect for a breakfast on the go, a filling nosh between meals, or even a midnight snack.
