Egyptian Foul Medames with Herbs and Lemon
What could be more comforting than a warm bowl of foul medames to start the day? This iconic Egyptian dish, enjoyed in the streets of Cairo at dawn, is a true journey for the taste buds. The fava beans, slowly cooked and mashed, become creamy, elevated by garlic, lemon, and cumin that dance together. You add a drizzle of olive oil, some crunchy parsley, and dip your pita bread into this generous preparation. It's simple, healthy, and incredibly flavorful. I promise you this breakfast will transport you straight to the banks of the Nile.
