My mama’s favourite meal! You get the crunch from the pita, the savoury goodness from the aubergines, garlic & lemon from the yoghurt sauce, and a burst of freshness from the mint. Chances are it will become a favourite of yours too!

Place the almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
GOLDEN AUBERGINE & CHICKPEAS
In a bowl, toss together the aubergine chunks, the drained chickpeas, the NOMU rub, a sweetener, and seasoning. Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the aubergine mix until the chickpeas are crispy and the aubergine is cooked through, 12-15 minutes (shifting occasionally).
TOASTY PITAS
Place a clean pan over medium heat. When hot, toast the pitas until heated through, 30-60 seconds per side. Alternatively, place them on a plate and heat up in the microwave, 30-60 seconds.
TAHINI YOGHURT
To a bowl, combine the yogurt, the grated garlic (to taste), ½ the lemon zest, the tahini, a squeeze of lemon juice (to taste), and seasoning. Mix with a fork or whisk until smooth. Add a splash of water to loosen, if necessary.
FATTEH FEAST
Make a bed of the pita triangles. Top with the aubergine and chickpeas, and cover in the yoghurt tahini sauce. Garnish with the dried pomegranates, the chopped mint, the toasted nuts, and the remaining lemon zest. Serve any remaining lemon wedges on the side for a tangy finish. Dive in, Chef!
