Fattah bi-as-samna

Fattah bi-as-samna is a Syrian dish consisting of flatbread pieces, fat, honey, and dates. It is usually made with freshly baked pita bread, which is torn into small pieces, covered with hot, melted fat, typically ghee, drizzled with honey, and then kneaded by hand. This simple dish is usually topped with dates and eaten for breakfast or as a light meal in the evening. Fattah bi-as-simna is a version of fatteh, a dish that is based on fresh, toasted, or stale pieces of flatbread combined with a variety of additions. The dish derives its name from fattah or fatteh, meaning to break or to crumble something into small pieces, which is basically how this dish is prepared - tearing the flatbread into pieces before combining it with other ingredients.
