Fattet is a traditional Levantine dish consisting of fried or toasted Arabic bread layered with grain, meat, or vegetables and topped with yoghurt. There isn't a direct translation in English for fattet, but in Arabic, the word is derived from the verb "fatta", which means "to crumble bread". Recipe contributor Sallama Al Sayegh says, "Fattet is a regular on our Ramadan table and there are many variations. I prefer the vegetarian ones and this spinach fattet is easy, light and tangy. You can add some chillies for an extra kick."
