Cooking Notes
Fattoush belongs to the family of dishes known as fattat (plural) or fatta, which are made in the Levant by Arab cooks using stale flatbread as a base, seasonal produce, mixing different vegetables and herbs according to taste, while making use of pitas that have gone stale. The vegetables are cut into relatively
large pieces. Sumac is usually used to give fattoush its sour taste but we are using lemon juice instead and adding a bean and sharp cheese to round out the dish. You might also serve this with roasted green beans and almonds or you could stuff this into a pepper and bake then serve a fruit cobbler for dessert.
