Fetti

Ever feel like breakfast for dinner?

Fetti to me, is the Arab version of chicken and waffles. You can enjoy it for breakfast or you can enjoy it for dinner. What's even better about fetti? It is quick and easy to whip up. You do want to assemble it right before you eat because it is best eaten warm.

Today I'll be sharing the vegetarian version with you. I have another recipe for a more heavier type of fetti that includes rice and chicken, but that is for another day.

Fetti

Ingredients

•  Arabic pitta bread (I prefer using the thin types of bread)
• 3 tablespoons tahini 
• 510 grams of yogurt
• 3 garlic cloves crushed
• salt to taste
• 1 can chickpeas (including the water)
• pine nuts
• parsley (dried or fresh) and chili pepper powder for garnish

Directions

1. Toast pitta bread in oven until crunchy
2. Break up the bread into medium to small pieces (not crumbs) in a 7 x 11 inch Pyrex
3. In a separate bowl, mix tahini, yogurt, and garlic. 
• If you're preparing ahead of time leave the yogurt in the fridge until you're ready to eat.
4. Brown some pine nuts in some butter and set aside
5. In a small pot, warm the chickpeas with its water. Make sure the chickpeas are soft.
6. Add the chickpea water to the yogurt and stir until blended. 
7. Layer:
1. Bread is in the Pyrex
2. Cover bread with warm hummus
3. Cover hummus with yogurt mix
