One of the most exciting things about Eid Al-Adha in Egypt is eating some top-notch fatteh with your family on the first day! It’s a ritual that we hope never goes out of style. This dish has always been popular all over Egypt and the Levant, dating back to the time of the Crusades.
As a culturally significant dish, fatteh has had many different variations, according to various Arab cuisines. Every fatteh variation has a unique texture and flavour that we just can’t get enough of! How about we kickstart our Eid with any of the following delicious Fattehs?
1- Egyptian Fatteh
One of our favourite traditional Egyptian foods is the Egyptian fatteh. This spiced boiled lamb/beef is served over a bed of rice and toasted pita bread with a garlicky warm tomato sauce—easily Egypt’s sweetheart in terms of dishes! Check out Munira Mahmoud’s recipe for a zesty dish of fatteh!

2 Syrian Fatteh
Many of us may have tried the Syrian Fatteh from the many Syrian restaurants all over Cairo, but have you ever considered making it at home? This dish is basically a hearty casserole of crispy pita bread beneath creamy, warm chickpeas and a luscious garlic-yoghurt-tahini sauce. It is commonly garnished with hot ghee, fresh chopped parsley, and pine nuts. So if you wanna give it a shot, try out this recipe!

3 Lebanese Fatteh
Much like Syrian Fatteh, the Lebanese one is quite interesting, though it comes with a twist! This festive combo of spiced shredded chicken, yoghurt, chickpeas, toasted pine nuts, and pita bread will take you all the way to Beirut. Check out Yumna’s special recipe for Lebanese Fatteh!

4 Vegetarian Eggplant Fatteh
Eggplant fans, rejoice! Forget all about the beef or chicken and treat yourself to the savoury goodness of the roasted eggplant alongside the garlicky and lemony yoghurt tahini sauce with the crunches of pita bread. For that, Amina’s recipe is a must-try!
