About Fattah

Fattah is a traditional Middle Eastern dish with roots in Egyptian, Levantine, and other Arab cuisines. It typically consists of layers of toasted or fried pita bread, rice, and meat, often lamb or beef, topped with a tangy garlic-vinegar sauce and sometimes yogurt. Variations include chickpeas, tomato sauces, or nuts for added texture and flavor. Fattah is a rich, hearty dish celebrated during religious feasts and family gatherings. While it is protein-rich due to the meat and provides energy from the rice, its healthiness depends on preparation methods. Fried bread and high-fat meat can make it calorie-dense and less ideal for regular consumption. However, grilling lean meat and using baked bread alongside yogurt can enhance its nutritional profile, adding probiotics and reducing unhealthy fats. Moderation and mindful preparation are key to enjoying this flavorful dish as part of a balanced diet.
