2 cans (400 g each) foul medames - Blend till quite fine with some water
1.5 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp fennel powder
½ tsp ground black pepper
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp salted butter
To be blended into a paste
2 large onions
6 cloves garlic
Accompaniment
6 sunny side up
2 onions - diced
3 green chilies- sliced
6 small limes - halved
Instructions
Pour oil into a hot pan and stir fry the blended paste until fragrant.
Add in coriander powder, cumin powder and fennel powder and fry for 5 minutes till the spices are fragrant.
Pour in blended beans, mix it with butter and cook for another 5 minutes.
Add about ¾ - 1 cup of water (depending on the consistency) and simmer for another 10 minutes.
Season with black pepper and salt, if required.
To serve
Serve the dish in a deep plate and top up with a sunny side egg, diced onion and lime.
This dish is best accompanied with slices of toasted baguette.
Notes
The canned beans already contain salt, so go easy on the salt. Foul keeps really well so you can keep a batch in the fridge and just reheat it before consuming.
