Eggplant Fatteh ( فته مقدوس)
* 3-4 cubed fried eggplants.
* finely chopped onion.
* roasted or fried squared pitta bread.
* tahini sauce ( tahini,lemon,salt,yoghurt,garlic)
* tomato paste.
* chopped parsley.
* cooked spiced minced meat.
* toasted almonds and pine nuts.
* salt,pepper,all spice and cinnamon for seasoning.
* saute onions till tender then add fried eggplants.
* add all seasoning,tomato paste and enough water to cover all then leave to simmer till sauce is thick and eggplants tender.
* layer pitta bread in Pyrex or serving dish,add eggplant with sauce on top.
* add tahini sauce then garnish with parsley,meat and nuts.
Note: this dish must be assembled right before you serve so as pittas stay crisp otherwise they’ll be so soggy.
As for the soup…you’ll need one small onion.4-5 carrots. 1 cube chicken stock.butter. one big spoon oatmeal.cream or milk and 4 cups water.
Sautee the onions and carrots till tender.add the chicken stock cube.oatmeal and water.salt.pepper and a bit of cinnamon.
Let it simmer for 45 minutes on low heat till carrots are soft.
Mix all with a mixer or blender..add the cream..then let it boil for another 10-15 minutes…..and serve hot with toasted croutons if you like
