What it is
Egypt's ancient breakfast: fava beans simmered overnight until creamy, mashed with olive oil, lemon, cumin and parsley, scooped with baladi bread. Ingredients: dried fava beans, onion, garlic, tomatoes, cumin, olive oil, lemon, parsley, salt; optional: tahini, eggs, tomatoes and onions on top. Recipe: 1) Soak beans; simmer very gently for hours (traditionally in a qidra pot) until they collapse. 2) Mash part of the pot for body. 3) Season with cumin, lemon and salt. 4) Dress with olive oil, parsley and chopped tomato. Serve: with baladi bread, eggs, cheese and onions — the fuel of Egyptian mornings for millennia. Flavor: earthy, lemony, olive-oil rich. History: fava beans have been eaten in Egypt since Pharaonic times; ful medames may be among the oldest continuously cooked dishes on Earth. See also: Koshari, Umm Ali.
