Fattoush is a humble bread salad you will have seen and eaten in many guises. I find myself chopping, dicing or slicing the vegetables in various sizes depending upon my mood at the time.

2 Pita breads, rounds, split in half
6 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp Lemon juice
2 Garlic cloves, crushed
2 Lebanese cucumber, rinsed and cut into small dice
6 Tomatoes, ripe, medium sized, cut into small dice
6 Radishes, small, cut into small dice. Or you could use 1 red onion or spring onions

Directions

  1. Toast or grill the pita bread until crisp. Break into small pieces.
  2. Whisk the oil, lemon juice and garlic together in a small bowl. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Place the cucumbers, tomatoes and radishes in a serving bowl and pour over the dressing. Toss gently to coat. Lastly toss in the rocket, mint leaves and pita pieces. Sprinkle with the sumac.
  4. Serve fattoush with trevally fillets pan-fried in a little oil or butter over a medium-heat for 3 minutes, turning once. Pass cut lemons.
