Fooll Mudammes (Fava Bean Egyptian Breakfast)(فول مدمس)

Traditional breakfast in the middle east. This is my mom's recipe, my (and my husband's) favorite. You can make it at night and heat the next morning, keeps well in the fridge. I do not use oil to cook the onions, to lower the fat, and it tastes just as good!

We've just eaten this for breakfast - and it was a resounding success! Used freshly picked beans and left out the salt. Really delicious! Thank you!

    I made this for breakfast this morning. Wonderful blend of flavours. So easy and quick to prepare. I served it on toasted homemade white bread because I didn't have any pita. Absolutely fabulous!

    Fabulous. I lived in Egypt for a while when I was a translator in the army and it's so hard to find good authentic mid-eastern recipes. Thank you and keep it up. I eat mine on toasted french loaf slices.
