First Try at Fatteh Humus

First try at vegetarian fatteh humus, I like the one with meat, but hubby wanted to try the vegetarian version, so he won. It took a lot of preparation to make this dish. The ingredients are simply cut into small squares and deep fried. We used potatoes, eggplant and zucchini.

You need a can of chick peas, boil them till soft and let it cool. For the sauce, mix some yogurt with crushed garlic, lemon juice and salt to taste. Some Arabic bread, cut into tiny squares and baked in the oven till brown and crispy. Finally, heat some butter in a frying pan and fry some chopped almonds, this is to be poured over the salad hot, as it will add a unique taste to the whole dish.

In a shallow bowl add the brown crispy Arabic bread, all the fried vegetables, next the boiled chick peas (without the water), pour the sauce over the assembled vegetables, and finally pour the fried chopped almond together with the butter.

As usual for me there is no one mandatory measurement, just use your ability to imagine. On this day of fatteh humus, Chef Diva, complimented us with a pineapple upside down cake for dessert.
