Ashishim

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ashishim or ashishot (Biblical Hebrew: אֲשִׁישׁוֹת, romanized: ʾăšīšōṯ) is a red lentil pancake dish of Ancient Israelite origin. According to the Talmud, it was a common dish eaten by Jews in antiquity.

Raisin cakes called ashishot are mentioned in several ancient Jewish texts, including the Books of Chronicles, the Song of Songs, and the Book of Hoshea. However, in the Jerusalem Talmud, a fried pancake made of ground roasted lentils and honey is identified as ashishim by Yasa of Tiberias.[1][2]
