It is served with a great tahini yogurt sauce. It is very popular in Lebanon and Syria for breakfast.
labneh is Kefir cheese, it is Mediterranean yogurt but strained to make a nice creamy cheese spread.

the authentic fatteh is made with the tahini and laban, the recipe is correct and how most Lebanese restaurants make it :)
By: dedemed
By: dedemed
I'm pretty sure its supposed to be with laban, but really one comes from the other so...all the same...I spent a lot of time in Lebanon and always it was Laban they used.....I want to know if the Tahini is essential. When I ate it in a restaurant it tasted different than when I saw someone make it, I never saw anyone make it with Tahini..they possibly did in the restaurants.....and I think the yogurt should be way thicker. why the water?....I'm being a critic I know but nice recipe tho

it's pretty much the same thing, just boil a while chicken, remove the bones and use chicken instead of beef :)
By: dedemed
By: dedemed
yes they were drained for the most part, the written recipe is on my site :)
By: dedemed
By: dedemed
When you cooked the chick peas, did you drain them? It looked like there was water with them as you added them. Thanks, can't wait to make this.

the tahini is just ground sesame seeds, check out my tahini from scratch recipe.
for the chick peas you need to boil them with water.
By: dedemed
By: dedemed
looks very very nicy cant wait to try it, just a couple of questions
1. is you tahini concentrated or is it the paste diluted with water?
2. to cook the chick peas, do you cover the peas with water and boil or steam them with a little water?
