Fava-bean mash.

Ful mudammis, a mash of fava beans (the broad bean, a vetch, Vicia faba) is considered the Egyptian national dish. There, it is often eaten with bread for breakfast. The peeled fava beans are soaked in water for a day, then covered with fresh water and simmered overnight with onion, some tomatoes, and red lentils, to control the color. Once the ful is cooked, it is salted and eaten plain or accompanied by olive oil, corn oil, butter, smen (clarified butter), buffalo milk, béchamel sauce, basturma (dried beef), fried eggs, tomato sauce, tahini (sesame-seed paste), or other ingredients.
