This is just like my mom's fatoosh except she deep fries the pita bread, then drains it on paper towels .. I love sumac and always add it to salads!! I even add it to my shawerma recipe :) -
I made this as part of Worldwide Recipezaar Day. I've had fattoosh plenty of times at restaurants but never made it at home. It was so easy and delicious, I didn't change a thing except double the quantity to serve more people. Thanks, Polly, I'll be making this again! -
We all loved this! I didn't have parsley so it was just left out. Made to satisfy a craving. :) -
This was good, but I like more juice to make my bread "soggy". I will reduce the sumac next time, and add some lemon juice. But it was good thank you.
