Fetteh - Home made yogurt, mixed with hot and creamy chickpeas, toasted pita pieces. Spiced with garlic, cumin, chili and sumac. Topped with cherry tomatoes, mint, parsley, toasted nuts (cashew and almonds), a little peppery olive oil and more sumac. Some of the pita keep crispy, some soaks the juices.

I really love this dish, and other then cooking the chickpeas (which I do the day before), it's very quick to make.
It has countless variations, with each making it differently. The must ingredients are yogurt, chickpeas and dry/toasted bread (mostly pita). The ratios change widely, some dished consist of chickpeas with yogurt dolloped on top while others are almost yogurt soup. Some add meat. Nuts are almost always present, and I believe that pine nuts are the most traditional. I encourage you to take a look at this image searches (
[1], [2]), the dished are quote sightly and you might enjoy viewing the wide variation.

Ouzo with mint, always a good way to finish things.
