    Sujuk Fatteh or Fattet Sujuk is a fun take on a traditional Middle Eastern dish. It is a mouthwatering dish that tantalizes your taste buds with bold flavors and textures.

    Sujuk Fatteh or Fattet Sujuk is a uniquely layered combination of a creamy hummus spread, crunchy pita chips, cooked hearty ground beef in sujuk spices, and a tangy yogurt sauce. This dish screams flavor and extraordinary texture variations!


    Tantalizing Fattet Sujuk

    Fattet sujuk or Sujuk Fatteh is the ultimate breakfast dish layered with a tangy delicious yogurt sauce, creamy hummus spread, perfectly cooked chickpeas, ground beef in flavor-packed sujuk spices, crunchy toasted pita chips, and yummy toasted pine nuts!
    Toasted pine nuts, cooked ground beef in sujuk spices, crunchy toasted pita chips, chickpeas, creamy hummus spread, and a yummy yogurt sauce layered together in this traditional Lebanese breakfast dish!

    You may have already seen or made my Beef Shank Layered Fatteh recipe here! If not, then you should check it out to learn more about what fatteh dishes are in general and the different ways you can use to prepare these delights!


    Breakfast Options

    Fatteh dishes are great main breakfast dishes for when you’ve exhausted breakfast choices.

    On a traditional Lebanese breakfast spread you’ll find your labne, cheeses, zaatar and sesame seeds mix, some manakish, and some favorite sides like olives, pickles, and fresh veggies.

    But, when the Lebanese want to change the same old breakfast, they hit that change strong.


    A Symphony of Savory and Hearty Flavors

    Fattet sujuk features a bed of earthy chickpeas, crispy toasted bread, and deliciously spiced meat!

    One favorite breakfast dish includes fava beans and chickpeas called foul mudammas. Also, musabaha is a similar dish made with only chickpeas. Both dishes use garlic and lemons for great flavor.

    Another favorite to switch up breakfast dishes is fatteh. A layered dish that’s packed with savory flavors contrasted with some tang.


    What’s Special About Fatteh?

    Well, for starters, there are a few wonderfully combined textures in this dish. Starting with a dreamy creamy hummus spread at the bottom. Then getting a layer of soft chickpeas covered in a tangy yogurt sauce.

    Next, a layer of savory cooked meat and on top of that two layers packed with crunch: toasted pita and pine nuts! Can you imagine getting a spoonful of all those beautiful textures in one bite? That’s what I call hearty and succulent textures!


    A Mouthwatering Middle Eastern Delight

    Fattet Sujuk or Sujuk Fatteh has layers oh hummus, yogurt sauce, ground beef in sujuk spices, crunchy pita bread chips, and toasted pine nuts!
    A visually stunning dish in all its unique layers of ingredients that marry so well together!

    Sujuk vs. Other Meat

    In my original recipe, and in most traditional fatteh recipes, beef shanks or lamb shanks are used. Originally, this breakfast dish is perfect to feed larger families and ensure they were full for longer hours during the day.

    Making it with chunks of hearty meat helped ensure that the family was set food-wise for the rest of the day. Plus, it gives an added full-bodied flavor and texture to the overall dish.

    In this variation, I used sujuk because, well, why not? Sujuk is ground beef mixed with specific spices to give it a unique flavor.

    You can have your local butcher prepare sujuk meat in sausage form! It’s another great way to enjoy sujuk. Also, sujuk meat is great in sandwiches or as an added layer on spreads like hummus.

    Sujek fatteh takes all those robust flavors of the regular fatteh dish and takes them up like a hundred notches lol! If you know sujuk, you know what I’m talking about. If you don’t then you must try it for yourself using my Sujuk Spice recipe.


    Sujuk Fatteh or Fattet Sujuk

    Fattet Sujuk, like any other fatteh dish, is not only a great breakfast option. Because of the dish’s unique flavors from the sujuk and its contrast to the other yummy ingredients, it’s a real showstopper.

    Make the fattet sujuk as a main dish for lunch! It’ll fill the family’s tummies right up and have guests talking for days about its velvety yet crunchy textures.

    Take it to a potluck dinner instead of a casserole and listen for days as everyone raves over the perfect marriage of textures and flavors!


    Indulge Your Taste Buds with Amazing Textures

    Fattet Sujuk or Sujuk Fatteh is a unique take on a traditional Middle Eastern and Lebanese dish. This fatteh packs lots of flavor and wonderful textures.
    Don’t wish you had a spoon on you and this savory dish in front of you right now?

    Tips for Fattet Sujuk or Sujuk Fatteh

    Make sure you use high-quality ingredients. So, it’s better to get flavorful and fresh sujuk meat and best-canned chickpeas.

    Make sure you toast the bread well since it’s the main key to the delicious texture. You can use day-old bread and toast them in the oven.

    After you layer the dish, let it sit for a couple of minutes before serving so the flavors mix together well.

    Serve sujuk fatteh with some veggies like cucumber, green peppers, and green onions for additional flavors.


    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I use garbanzo beans instead of chickpeas?

    In fact, you can use chick peas and garbanzo beans interchangeably because they are the same type.

    What can I do with chickpeas leftovers?

    If you are left with chickpeas, mix them with tahini sauce to make some Easy Creamy Hummus with Tahini Sauce plate and decorate it with some pomegranate molasses.

    What can I do with fatteh sujuk leftovers?

    You can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
