Egyptian Fava Bean Dip (Foul Mudammes)

"This is a wonderful breakfast or brunch when you wake up ravenous and really need a protein hit. A Saudi friend taught me how to make this. P.S. If you live in the Seattle area, a little store in the Pike Place Market called The Souk sells fava beans in cans; The store has a lot of great food items."

  1. Made this for brunch today. Delicious with warm crusty french bread like you suggested.
     
  2. Wow, this was delicious!! My husband and I ate it all in one sitting!! I used a package of vacuum-sealed fava beans from Trader Joe's -- it was only 12 oz. but worked out just fine. I didn't add the potato--it would probably just make it more filling. We ate it with garlic naan bread -- yummy!!!

  5. I have been using this recipe on and off for about 6 years. I love it every time. I usually use dried favas which I soak for a day or two in advance. It's always a big hit with guests. It stores well for a few days and warms up quick in the microwave. Thanks for the recipe!

As an ethical vegan, I'm always on the lookout for tasty, cruelty-free meals. I work in the medical field, but my heart lies with anything and everything relating to animal welfare. I share my home with two each furry (cats) and feathered friends. Something I'd like to encourage all chefs is, don't be afraid to experiment! I'm not always really specific about measurements, and that's because I go by feel, so if you want to add a little more or a little less -by all means!
