Foul mudammas

In the book "A Book of Middle Eastern Food", Claudia Roden, the chef and author of several cookbooks of  the  Middle Eastern cuisine, writes the following about the Egyptian national dish: "foul mudammas-'the' national dish of Egypt" and is a meal that is "pre-Ottoman and pre-Islamic.

Her book has a recipe that calls for dried fava ((“full medames” - fava beans), soaked and then cooked with minced garlic, served with olive oil, lemon juice and hard-boiled eggs.

WHAT ARE FAVA BEANS?

Fava beans are also known as broad beans, are eaten everywhere in the Middle East. They have flavors of earthiness, sweetness and spice and are loaded with vitamins, protein , fiber and minerals.

They were widely cultivated in ancient Egypt. The Egyptians put dried beans in the tombs of the dead people.

Presumably the word "medammis" is of Coptic origin and means "internal", because the beans were cooked in pots.

The method of cooking fava beans is mentioned  in the Jerusalem Talmud, and this once again proves that fava beans were eaten  in the countries of the Middle East, starting from the fourth century.

Nowadays there are lots of ways to garnish this dish but the recipe is almost same as  many centuries ago.
