Ful mudammas

Ful mudammas is the most popular dish in Egypt, and is eaten on a daily basis for breakfast or lunch.  It's traditionally made with smaller, rounder fava beans than the ones I used, but either kind of bean is fine.  There's no need to follow a recipe.  Just cook dried favas, mash some to thicken, and season to taste.  The keys to this dish, IMO, are lots of lemon, lots of crushed garlic, and lots of olive oil.  Other seasoning ingredients are parsley, cumin, crushed red pepper, black pepper, and sea salt.  It shouldn't be the least bit bland.
