What it is
The bread salad of thrift and genius: toasted pita shards over purslane, tomatoes, cucumber and radish in a sumac-lemon dressing. Ingredients: pita bread, purslane or romaine, tomatoes, cucumber, radishes, spring onions, parsley, mint, sumac, lemon juice, olive oil, pomegranate molasses (optional), salt. Recipe: 1) Toast or fry pita until crisp. 2) Chop vegetables generously, not fine. 3) Whisk sumac, lemon and olive oil. 4) Dress the vegetables; crown with pita at the last second so it crackles. Serve: as the bright opener of the mezze spread. Flavor: tart, herby, crunchy-fresh. History: a peasant dish for using stale bread, named from the Arabic fatta (to crumble) — mountain cooks of Lebanon and Syria turned thrift into the region's favourite salad.
