Ful Medames

Ful medames is a very simple to make dish. Only time consuming parts of the recipe are soaking the beans and cooking them. If these are done, then all that is left is mixing all the ingredients and serving. I served it with some pita wedges and it was definitely a filling breakfast that kept me going till the afternoon.
