Ful nabed

Ful nabed is a traditional dish originating from Egypt. It's usually made with a combination of white broad beans (fava beans), onions, olive oil, lemon juice, sugar, and salt. The onions are fried until soft and pale golden, and they're then mixed with water and beans. The combination is cooked over low heat until very tender and falling apart. The beans are mashed into a paste, seasoned with salt, sugar, and lemon juice, then chilled before serving. When served, ful nabed is often dressed with a combination of olive oil, lemon juice, chopped dill or parsley, and often red paprika or cayenne pepper for color.
