Which Egyptian breakfast dish is made mainly from cooked fava beans?

Ful medames is the Egyptian breakfast dish made mainly from cooked fava beans.

The beans are slowly simmered until soft, then commonly seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and salt. Diners may add chopped tomatoes, onions, parsley, chili, or hard-boiled eggs, and the dish is often eaten with flatbread. It is both inexpensive and filling, making it an important everyday food.

Ful medames is strongly associated with Egypt, but related preparations are eaten across the Middle East, North Africa, and the Horn of Africa. The name comes from Arabic and refers to cooked or buried beans; traditional cooking methods historically used a pot left to simmer for many hours.

Ful medames is sometimes confused with hummus because both can be served with bread and savory toppings. Hummus is based on chickpeas and tahini, whereas ful medames is based on fava beans.
