Fatteh with crunchy golden bread
Middle Eastern 15 Mins Prep · 10 Mins Cook
- Slice the bread into quarters.
- In a deep pan, heat the oil to 180°C. If you don’t have a thermometer, test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread in, if it sizzles and turns golden quickly, it’s ready.
- Working in batches, fry the bread for approx. 2 minutes on either side until evenly golden brown. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Set aside to cool.
- Mince the garlic and juice the lemon. In a bowl, place the garlic, lemon juice, yoghurt, tahini, cumin and salt. Whisk together until smooth. Adjust the seasoning, if needed. Remove from the heat immediately.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Roughly chop the parsley and mint. Arrange the chickpeas in a serving dish, top with the fried bread triangles. Drizzle over the yoghurt dressing. Top with the toasted pine nuts, pomegranate seeds and herbs
- Serve immediately for the best texture.
