Ful Medames is a traditional Egyptian dish made primarily from fava beans. It is considered one of the country’s national dishes and is enjoyed throughout Egypt and other parts of the Middle East. The name “ful medames” comes from the Arabic word for fava beans (“ful”) and a term meaning “buried,” which refers to the slow-cooking method originally used to prepare the beans.
