🇪🇬 Egypt recipe
Fattah
Fattah is the grand ceremonial dish of Egypt, traditionally prepared during Eid al-Adha and other major celebrations. It is a magnificent layered construction of toasted or fried bread, seasoned rice, and slow-braised lamb or beef, all drenched in a sharp, garlicky vinegar-tomato sauce. The combination of textures and the bold, tangy sauce make it utterly unforgettable.
