Fattet Batenjen

Looking for something vegetarian to begin your morning? Why not try your hand at making Fattet Batenjen, a casserole dish that's said to have originated from Lebanon. An extremely versatile dish, each Lebanese household usually has their own method of putting it together -whether using proteins such as lamb or chicken, or as in this recipe, with eggplants! Fattet Batenjen can be served as an appetizer or as a main dish -we recommend having it together with rice on the side to give you a major energy booster for the day.
