Fatteh is a Levantine dish of toasted or fried flatbread layered with cooked chickpeas and a savory yogurt-tahini sauce, garnished with toppings such as fried onions, pine nuts, and pomegranate seeds. The name comes from the Arabic fatt, "to crumble," referring to the broken-up bread base; despite the shared root, fatteh is a distinct dish from fattoush, the bread salad.
Popular throughout Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Palestine, fatteh is a comfort food often served to break the fast during Ramadan. It can be made with shredded chicken or lamb instead of chickpeas, or with a tahini-based sauce (fatteh bi-tahini) in Lebanese versions, and is served warm, at room temperature, or chilled as a main course or side dish.
