Ful Medames is the undisputed breakfast king of Egypt, a hearty and protein-rich dish of slow-cooked fava beans that provides the energy for the day ahead. The beans are simmered for hours in a large copper pot called a 'qidra' until they are buttery and soft, then mashed with cumin, lemon juice, garlic, and plenty of olive oil. In Sharm, it is often served with a side of fresh onions, pickled vegetables, and warm Aish Baladi bread for dipping. Every street cart and local cafe has its own secret seasoning, but the best versions are always the most simple. The trap is buying 'canned' ful from a hotel buffet; in Beirut, you must look for the specialized 'Ful & Ta'ameya' shops where the beans are prepared daily and the aroma of cumin fills the air.
