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.

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!

Wonderfu!! I saw the Egypt episode of Anthony Bourdaine's "No Reservations" and it showed him having this dish for breakfast. It looked like a perfect, delicious breakfast to me... and it is!!! I used half of the salt, a can of Goya pink beans (I always have those on hand) and an 8 ounce can of tomato sauce (I preferred the consistency with extra sauce). On the show, it showed this dish topped with a coarsely chopped, boiled egg. I did that and I loved it!! I ate it with whole wheat naan bread. Thank you for posting this recipe!

OMG this was really really yummy! I love it and so did my husband. I had to stop myself eating the whole lot before he got home. We just had it with a bit of toast although it was good enough to just eat like that. I added 4 small garlic cloves and sauteed them together with 1tbsp olive oil and then added fava beans I soaked overnight, peeled and boiled. It made me feel like I was eating mashed potatoes but so much yummier. This would make an awesome side dish. Update: it also tastes good with other beans such as chickpeas in a pinch

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!
