Lebanese Baked Chickpea Fatteh

Fatteh is one of the most beloved and comforting dishes of the Arab Levant.

In its Lebanese version, it combines layers of crisp bread, chickpeas, yogurt, and nuts, creating a perfect contrast between textures and temperatures.

This version is baked to achieve a golden presentation and a crispy base without the need for frying, making it a lighter and more practical alternative.

The yogurt with garlic and cumin adds freshness, while the baked chickpeas and toasted pine nuts add body and flavor.

It is a humble recipe rich in history, ideal for sharing as a starter or main course on any occasion.
