Chickpea Fatteh (fattet hummus)

March 22, 2023

Chickpea fatteh is a delicious and nutritious Middle Eastern dish that is commonly served during Ramadan. This hearty and filling dish is made with chickpeas, yogurt, tahini, and a blend of spices, served over a bed of crispy pita bread. It is a great option for iftar, the evening meal that breaks the fast during Ramadan, because it is rich in protein and fiber, which can help provide sustained energy throughout the evening.

Chickpeas, the main ingredient in the dish, are a rich source of protein, fiber, and complex carbohydrates, which can help regulate blood sugar levels and promote healthy digestion. Yogurt and tahini, which are used to dress the dish, are both rich in healthy fats and protein, which can help reduce inflammation and promote satiety. The addition of crispy pita bread provides a satisfying crunch and adds to the overall texture of the dish.

In addition to its nutritional benefits, chickpea fatteh is a versatile dish that can be customized to suit different tastes and preferences. It can be made spicier or milder, depending on personal preference, and can be served as a main course or as a side dish.

Overall, chickpea fatteh is a delicious and nutritious dish that can provide numerous benefits during Ramadan and beyond. Its combination of protein, fiber, and healthy fats make it a satisfying and nourishing addition to any meal.
