How to Make Fattah
- While the meat is cooking; open each pita bread into 2 circles then cut into 1 inch pieces.
Place the olive oil in a large skillet (reserving 1 tsp.), add the pita bread pieces and toss or stir to coat well with the oil.
Place the skillet on medium heat and toss or stir the bread pieces often till they are golden brown. Remove from skillet. (you can deep fry the bread pieces if this would be easier for you, but drain them well) - In a pot add the butter, rice, salt and pepper over medium heat and stir, then add 4 and 1/4 cups lamb broth and the remaining 1/4 cup vinegar. Cover and lower the heat to low and cook till all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked through. (you can use your rice cooker for this step)
