Ful Medames

Posted On 18-Jul-2008 at 9:12 AM by Seena  

This recipe is for bachelors from some bachelors of Dubai. :) Ful Medames is one of the national dish of Egypt which always has a special place in our dinner menu with khubz, especially on the days when I do not cook. This is often prepared by my husband, but I have given little changes to his version, since I always wanted to keep the taste of Arabic spices in the dish. If you don't have the ingredients like za'atar and basil leaves just make it with the remaining ingredients.



Ingredients used
Ful medames 2 cans of 375 gm
onions 2
tomatoes 1
green chillies 2
pepper powder 2 tsps
basil leaves dried 1 tsp
zaatar 2 tsps
olive oil 2 Tbsps



How I prepared
Drain and mash ful medames very well.
Heat oil, saute chopped onions, tomatoes green chillies in little oil.No need to cook onions and tomatoes toomuch. Add pepper powder and dried spices. Stir and mix this with mashed ful medames.
Enjoy with hummus and grilled chicken!
Pour little olive oil on top. Serve with coriander leaves.
