🇪🇬 Egypt recipe
Fatta
Fatta is a simpler, everyday version of the celebratory fattah, found in homes and small restaurants across Egypt. Layers of crispy toasted bread and rice are topped with braised meat and a potent garlic-vinegar sauce. While sharing the same DNA as fattah, fatta is more rustic and quicker to prepare, making it a weeknight comfort dish.
