About Fatteh
Chickpea fatteh is presented by Iman as a Lebanese classic and breakfast dish. This version combines fried pita, cooked chickpeas and a yogurt sauce, with the source’s home-boiled chickpea option selected.
Garlic and tahini season the yogurt, while toasted pine nuts and olive oil add richness. Salt supplies the simple seasoning, and parsley provides the fresh finish.
The pita forms the bottom layer, followed by chickpeas and yogurt, with nuts and their oil over the top. Immediate serving preserves the contrast between crisp bread and creamy sauce.
