📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Fatteh means 'crumbled': toasted or fried bread is laid in a dish, topped with chickpeas and garlic yogurt, and finished with hot butter and pine nuts or almonds. It's popular for breakfast and weekend brunch in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and beyond.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a weekend morning at a long-established Amman eatery, hot butter sizzles over a bowl of fatteh and a toasty aroma fills the room.
