Foul Medames or Stewed Fava Beans are a Middle Eastern breakfast, brunch and sometimes dinner. It is an unmistakable street food staple in Egypt. Fava beans are, by far, the white canvas of legumes dishes. This proves to be a very forgiving and inclusive dish. It could be spiced up or down, cooked with either butter or oil, with or without tomato sauce, and mixed with eggs or served vegan.
