This Eggplant Fatteh is a healthier and lighter version of the classic middle eastern Fatteh. Eggplant Fatteh is basically a layered eggplant and yoghurt salad. Layers of crispy pita bread, eggplant and tomato sauce, ground beef, and yoghurt sauce, topped with pine nuts, parsley, and pomegranate seeds. For a healthier Fatteh, Instead of deep frying the eggplant cubes and the pita bread squares, I cooked the eggplants with the tomato sauce on the stove and toasted the bread in the oven.
