Egyptian FUL MEDAMES






It is thought this dish dates back to Pharaonic Egypt, and it is now a staple for breakfast in large parts of the North East Africa and the Arabian peninsula. I fell in love with ful in Yemen, where we were served it most mornings along with their wonderful freshly baked flat bread.

1 cup dried fava beans, soaked overnight
2 tsp bouillon powder
2 small onions, chopped
2 tsp cumin seeds
2 tomatoes, deseeded and chopped
handfal flat parsley leaves, chopped
2 eggs
You need to really start this two days before you want to eat it, soaking the beans overnight. The next day, drain and rinse the beans and cook them in a large saucepan with water and bouillon powder for an hour until the beans are nice and soft. Drain and retain the cooking liquid. You can of course get up early on the morning you want to eat this to cook the beans, but I am so not a morning person that I prefer to cook them the day before. I suppose you could leave them overnight in a slow cooker.

Heat a pan with Fry Light and sauté the onions and cumin seeds until soft. Add the cooked beans and mash using a potato masher; or if you want a smoother consistency, use a hand held blender. Add enough of the cooking liquid or water to get a consistency of porridge. Add the chopped tomatoes and stir to combine. Leave on a low heat while you fry the eggs.

Stir the parsley in to the bean mixture, dish out on to two plates, and top with a fried egg.
