Fattee Recipe & Day 18 Recap


I heard about this Lebonese layered dish from my clinical supervisor, and I attempted to recreate it on the fly. I've since googled some recipes that are different from this but my version was pretty tasty! It's usually made with chicken but of course I left that out. This recipe made two heaping plates.

Ingredients
2 pitas
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup brown rice
Bunch of kale
2 cloves garlic
2/3 cup chickpeas
2/3 cup yogurt
cinnamon
cumin
paprika
salt
parsley

Directions
Cook rice as directed by the package. Sprinkle with cinnamon once cooked.

Mix yogurt with minced clove of garlic, cumin, and paprika.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut pitas like a pizza into triangles and peel apart the layers. Lay on a cookie sheet with the inside part facing up. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake until lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes.

Destem kale and boil in a big pot of water for 7 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Saute in olive oil over medium heat with a clove of sliced garlic for a couple minutes. Add 1/2 cup water, cover, and cook an additional 5 minutes. Sprinkle with cinnamon.

Cook apple cider vinegar until reduced by half.

Layer onto a plate like nachos: pita chips drizzled with vinegar, rice, kale, chickpeas, yogurt, parsley.

Breakfast
2 rhubarb scones
Coffee with cream and sugar

Lunch
Leftover frozen quinoa
Banana

Snack
Instant oatmeal

Dinner
Fattee
