How to Make Fooll Mudammes Fava Bean Egyptian Breakfast

  1. Finely chop 1 medium onion.
  2. In a large pot or pan, sauté the onion over medium heat for 4 minutes, without adding oil. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  3. Add 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste), and a pinch of black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add 2 (15 ounce) cans fava beans (drained and rinsed). Using a potato masher or fork, mash the fava beans to your desired consistency. Leave some beans whole for texture, if preferred.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve hot with warm pita bread.
  7. For an extra flavor boost, drizzle with olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, or a combination of your favorite toppings. A sprinkle of hot chili flakes adds a nice kick!
  8. Enjoy your authentic Egyptian breakfast!
