Fattet hummus

(Tisiyeh, ﻓﺗﺔ ﺣﻣص)

A variation on Levantine fatteh, fattet hummus typically consists of toasted or fried pieces of pita bread and chickpeas that have been layered in a serving dish before being drenched in a garlicky tahini-yogurt sauce.


This specialty is usually garnished with toasted pine nuts or almonds, fresh parsley or mint leaves, a drizzle of olive oil, and a touch of paprika or cayenne pepper on top. Some versions call for soaking the bread in broth or adding chickpea broth to the combination, while others call for using hummus paste instead of whole chickpeas.


This dish is commonly prepared across the Levant, and it may sometimes be served with chunks of sautéed lamb or beef on top. Fattet hummus is typically enjoyed for breakfast, although it can also be eaten as a side dish or as an appetizer, and it is often served as the main dish for Iftar.  It is recommended to accompany this dish with a cup of sweet black tea with fresh mint leaves or an Arabic mezze platter on the side.
