Eggplant Fatteh with Roasted Chickpeas
with flatbread chips & tahini yogurt sauce
Recipe Developer June: "Fatteh is a popular Middle Eastern dish. Not only is it delicious, it's also a brilliant way to use up stale pita or flatbread! My favourite thing about fatteh, aside from the layers, its creamy, crunchy texture, and savoury spices, is that it's a shared dish."
