  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For the garnish:

  • ¼ cup slivered almonds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ cup parsley, finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preparing the chickpeas by boiling in salt water
    Start by draining and washing the canned chickpeas. Then, place it in a small pot, add water and salt, and boil for 10 minutes to warm up and soften. Drain and set aside.
  • Preparing the pita bread by cutting into small pieces and mixing with olive oil, sumac and salt
    Prepare the pita by cutting it into small squares using a knife or kitchen scissors.
  • A white plate topped with small, square pieces of baked pita chips—perfect for Fattet Hummus—lightly seasoned and golden brown, placed on a white tiled surface with blue floral accents.
    Mix with the olive oil, sumac and salt. Air fry for 10 minutes at 400F until evenly golden brown. You can also bake them or fry them if desired. Check the blog post for notes on these other methods.
  • Yogurt sauced mixed in a white bowl with a whisk
    Make the sauce by whisking together the yogurt, tahini, minced garlic, salt, and lemon juice. Taste and adjust per preference.
  • Prepare the garnish by frying the almonds in the olive oil, stirring continuously the whole time until evenly golden. Remove and set aside.
  • De-seed the pomegranate and finely mince the parsley.
  • White platter with a heaping serving of Fattet Hummus
    Assemble the Fattet hummus by starting with a layer of the pita chips, then the chickpeas, then the yogurt sauce, then the almonds, parsley, and pomegranate seeds.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use dry chickpeas for this dish, if you prefer them over canned chickpeas
  • I recommend using the thin type of Lebanese pita bread for the best crisp
  • If you don't have tahini or don't like it, feel free to skip it from the sauce
  • You can bake, air fry or fry the pita bread
