Khawla,
ReplyDeleteI already have given the same link.. :)
You make the recipes look so simple. INteresting blog!
ReplyDeleteThis dish is beans not meat or fish. It is fava beans. The are very Egyptian.
ReplyDeleteSome larger grocery stores have canned fava beans/ foule mudammas. Some Whole Foods have dry. If you can't find either you have to go to an Asian/Middle Eastern/Indian market and usually they will have them dry or canned.
They are tastier than most other beans and super filling. To my taste it is best with roasted onions, roasted garlic, toasted cumin, and a little coriander and cayenne. Olive oil, lemon, salt and black pepper to season. Fresh chopped tomatoes and sweet green and red pepper on the side! Best food EVVVVVARRRRR.
(Lift is good with it if you want to work for it. Lift requires lots of peeling and waiting.)
You can make the dry overnight in a slow cooker and then in the morning you have a fast, filling breakfast. Serve with pita bread or white rice (I do the latter because I go through pita bread too fast if I keep it in the house regularly).
Hey! Nice recipe.. I've never used this before.. Happened to pick up this one instead of baked beans.. Didn't know what to do wid it! Thanks to u now its no more a mystery :)
