Description

Fatteh is a delicious Lebanese salad with warmed chickpeas, garlic tahini yogurt, crispy pita chips, and toasted pine nuts. Vegan optional!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 pita breads
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon tahini
  • 1 (15) oz can chickpeas
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil, plus more for garnish
  • 3 tablespoons pine nuts

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the pita breads directly onto the oven grate and bake for 10-13 minutes, flipping halfway through, until toasted. If the pita still seems pliable in the center but you've baked for the right amount of time, don't worry. It will continue to crisp up as it cools. Once cool, break into bite-sized pieces.

Mince the garlic finely. Sprinkle on 1/4 teaspoon salt and use the side of the knife to mash it into a paste (see the video for a visual!). Add the garlic, yogurt, tahini, and salt to a small bowl. Mix well and place in the fridge until serving.

Place the chickpeas, along with their liquid, to a small pot. Add enough water to submerge all the chickpeas by 1 inch. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the chickpeas are warmed through. To keep them warm, leave them in the pot, off heat, until just before serving. Then, drain the chickpeas.

Heat a skillet over medium head. Add in the olive oil and pine nuts  stirring frequently, until the nuts are golden brown on most sides. Keep an eye on these - they burn quickly!

Spoon the chickpeas into a bowl. Add on a dollop of yogurt, the crispy pita, top with pine nuts, parsley and a drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy!


Notes

Pita: you can use whole wheat, regular or gluten free!

Yogurt: use regular or vegan yogurt.

Storage: Store the chickpeas and yogurt in lidded containers in the fridge. Place the pita in a plastic bag or lidded container and store at room temperature. Store the pine nuts in a lidded container at room temperature. Leftovers will keep for up to 5 days.
