Mix the tahini yogurt.

  • In a medium bowl, mix the yogurt, garlic, tahini, and a couple pinches of sea salt. Set aside.

Toast the pita bread.

  • Place pita triangles in the same frying pan in a single layer, and toast until golden brown on each side. Remove from heat and immediately assemble the fatteh.

Assemble the fatteh.

  • Leave the toasted pita in the pan, and top with the cumin chickpeas. Add the tahini yogurt. Drizzle with the ghee and toasted pine nuts, and top with pomegranate seeds and chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
