Preparation Steps

1

Prepare the Eggplant

Slice the eggplants into rounds, sprinkle with salt, and let them sit for about 30 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse and pat dry.

2

Cook the Eggplant

In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Fry the eggplant slices until golden brown on both sides. Set aside.

3

Prepare the Chickpeas

If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them. Heat them in a saucepan with a splash of olive oil, cumin, minced garlic, salt, and pepper over medium heat for about 5 minutes.

4

Assemble the Fettah

In a serving dish, layer the fried eggplant, followed by the chickpeas and lamb confit. Drizzle with yogurt sauce and top with pomegranate seeds and chopped parsley.

5

Serve

Serve warm, garnished with additional yogurt and herbs if desired.
