Fattah

Fattah is a traditional Lebanese breakfast dish that layers crispy pita bread, spiced chickpeas, and a rich garlic-tahini sauce, offering a delightful combination of flavors and textures. This dairy-free version captures the essence of Lebanese cuisine while being light and nourishing.

Ingredients

• Pita bread - 2 small rounds
• Canned chickpeas - 240 grams, drained and rinsed
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Tahini - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Water - 4 tablespoons
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Pine nuts - 2 tablespoons, toasted

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Cut the pita bread into triangles and arrange them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until crispy and golden.
3. In a saucepan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Add the drained chickpeas, cumin, paprika, and salt to the saucepan. Stir well and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the chickpeas to absorb the spices.
5. In a small bowl, mix the tahini, lemon juice, and water until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water if necessary.
6. To assemble, place a layer of crispy pita bread on a plate, followed by the spiced chickpeas. Drizzle the tahini sauce over the top, then garnish with chopped parsley and toasted pine nuts.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Fattah!
