Fatteh comes from fatta, meaning "break," as in breaking the grilled bread of the fatteh. Fatteh is a staple souk breakfast, originally a Damascene specialty: a yogurt sauce (a hint of garlic and some tahini that will soften the yogurt's taste) and "broken" grilled bread over cooked chickpeas, cubed eggplant, beef tongue, mutton feet (!) … or over stuffed eggplant. This Eggplant Fatteh is light enough for summer, but earthy and filling enough to carry through into the colder months. I expect it'll be making appearances year round at our house!

This dish never fails to impress. It's not a dish many people outside the Middle East have heard of. This is a subtly textured, richly flavoured arrangement of toasted pieces of flatbread topped with meaty aubergine and beef, a garlicky tahini-yogurt sauce, red pepper flakes, pomegranate seeds, toasted pine nuts and fresh shredded mint. I think of this rather as a refined, Middle-Eastern form of nachos. For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.
