Ingredients
1 rotisserie chicken
3 pita breads, cut into small squares
rice bran oil for frying
3 cups cooked rice
2 cloves of garlic, mashed
2 cups plain yogurt
¼ cup tahini
juice of 1 lime
½ tsp SIDS CRAZY LEMON
½ cup sliced pistachios, to garnish
SIDS SALT & PEPPER to taste
½ tsp cinnamon
Chopped parsley, to garnish
Directions
Start by heating the oil over medium heat and frying the pita squares (stale works better than fresh) until golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to soak the extra oil then set aside.
Prepare the sauce by combining the mashed garlic and the yogurt. Whisk until smooth. Add the tahini while whisking, SIDS CRAZY LEMON and the lime juice. Season with SIDS SALT & PEPPER and reserve. (refrigerate if not using right away)
Make sure the shredded chicken and rice are warm before assembling the Fattet Djaj and work quickly so everything is still warm when you serve it.
In a big casserole or serving platter, start with the pita squares, evenly distributed in a single layer.
The next layer is the rice and finally ⅔ of the chicken mixture.
Top with the yogurt sauce, the remaining chicken and finish by sprinkling toasted nuts, chopped parsley and cinnamon.
Serve warm.
