Eggplant fatteh layers fried or roasted eggplant cubes with toasted bread and warm chickpeas under a garlicky yogurt and tahini sauce, finished with pine nuts. The soft, smoky-sweet eggplant contrasts with the crisp bread and the cool sauce. It is served warm as a hearty vegetarian main or as part of a mezze spread.

Recipe

4 servings50 min

Ingredients

2 medium eggplants, cubed
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large pita, cut into squares and toasted
250 g cooked chickpeas
400 g plain yogurt
2 tbsp tahini
2 garlic cloves, crushed
30 g pine nuts, toasted, salt

Method

Toss the eggplant with oil and salt and roast at 220 °C for 25 minutes until golden and soft.
Warm the chickpeas with a little water and salt.
Whisk the yogurt with tahini, garlic and salt.
Layer toasted bread, chickpeas and eggplant, then cover with the sauce and pine nuts.

How to make it lighter

Roast the eggplant instead of deep-frying it — fried eggplant soaks up a lot of oil, and 1 tbsp oil ≈ 120 kcal.
Use 1 tbsp tahini and more lemon for a lighter sauce.
Keep the bread layer thin and add more eggplant and chickpeas.

History
