Ful Medammes & Persian Rice

EAT WITH CHEF JASON: This is one of the first truly great dishes I ever had. It was when I was just out of college and helped spur me on to explore food. Its simplicity is belied by the burst of flavor from the lemon and garlic fava beans and the nutty aroma of the herbed saffron rice suffuses the room. Nourishing and addictive all at once!

Short History: Ful medames was originally peasant food in Ancient Egypt. However, it has developed almost into a national dish and is now popular street food. It is very filling and makes a useful part of breakfast before a day’s fasting during Ramadan. This meal from The Vegan Taste will provide you with Vitamins C, A, & K, iron, magnesium, folate, and more!

Reheating Instructions: Warm over medium in a pan

Customer Comments:

“I loved every component of this dish and would welcome the addition of fava beans any time!” – Rebecca Sp. from Phoenix

“I think this was my favorite meal. Also was spicy, which was fine for me, just couldn’t share it with our son. Don’t eat fava beans much so that was a nice change. I liked the overall flavor and combination of this dish.” – Kara Cy. from Mesa

“Heat of tangy fava beans offset by the cool mint. Yummy!” – Mary Lee Ma. from Glendale
