Fattet Hummus

A satisfying weekend brunch using leftover bread.

I use dinner rolls or hamam bread that hasn’t been used to pack lunch boxes during the week to minimize food waste in our household.  Or you can use a traditional recipe by frying pita bread.

Ingredients

• Dinner rolls shredded into squares
• 1 cup humus
• 2 garlic cloves, or more to taste
• 2 cups yogurt
• 1/4 cup creamy tahini
• 3 TBSP Lemon juice
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• parsley
• 2 TBSP ghee
• Pine Nuts or Slivered Almonds

Directions

• Put the bread in a pre-heated oven or toasted for 5 minutes.
• Mix yogurt, lemon, tahini, and garlic. Add salt to your liking.
• Mix the bread with the humus, you might add some of the starchy water you used to make the humus with this mixture as you don’t want it dense.
• Place the bread in the bottom of your serving dish. Followed by a layer of your yogurt mixture.
• Fry your pine nuts or slivered almonds with a tbsp. of ghee.
• Garnish with parsley, cumin, sumac, chickpeas, and nuts. You can add pomegranate seeds if in season.
• I like to add the remaining tbsps. of ghee on top of the mixture for extra flavor.
