Ful medames is a filling dish that can be enjoyed in so many ways. Serving it with fresh veggies, a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, and fresh lemon juice is my favorite.

Along with Koshari and Ta'ameya (falafel), ful is considered Egypt's national dish. Scoop it with some pitas for a hearty breakfast, lunch or dinner. It is so versatile and can be dressed up in various ways. Mash it for an unforgettable dip, or eat it as is.

❤️ Why You'll Love It

  • An easy hearty ful medames recipe made from simple pantry ingredients.
  • Old fashioned recipe that's stood the test of time.
  • Ful Medames recipe just like grandma did hers.
  • A recipe that has been enjoyed by people for generations.
  • Ful makes a great vegan meal or a healthy breakfast.

Many people will tell you to peel the fava beans because the skin is never soft enough. Traditionally ful medammes dishes are enjoyed skin on, you are welcome to peel the beans but peeling is not for me not only for the authenticity of the recipe but time wise too.

📝 Ingredients

Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. You'll find the full measurements and instructions in the recipe card (printable) at the bottom of the page.

  • Rice is used to thicken the finished ful medames and give it volume. You can use peeled split fava as well, and some people go against that. I use a tiny amount of uncooked rice, though.
  • Dry lentils and tomatoes are usually added to give ful medames a desired vibrant color.
  • Some people add garlic and onions or one of them without the other. I liked adding only garlic to give a savory touch.
  • Baking powder is my secret ingredient here for a softer skin.

🥄 Instructions

Note: This is an overview of the instructions. The detailed instructions are in the recipe card below.

  1. Place beans, rice, and lentils in a fine colander and wash.
  2. Place them in your slow cooker with tomato and garlic.
  3. Pour in boiling water, ensuring there are a couple of inches of water above the bean's level.
  4. Cover with foil, then place the lid on. Set to cook on low for 4 hours.

  1. After three hours, remove the lid and foil, then mix in the baking powder. It will foam a bit, like in the picture above, so do not panic. Cover and cook for the remaining hour. Cook for more time if you feel the beans are not done to your liking.
  2. Remove the lid and turn off your slow cooker. Cool completely before placing in the fridge or freezing.

💡 Amira's Tips

  • I have found that soaking dry beans in cold water overnight as usually and traditionally done, makes it harder to get a soft skin. The beans cook quickly while the skin is still so hard. If you must, soak it for just a couple of hours, but not anymore.
  • If you cannot find fava beans, you can use pinto beans, as it is the closest in taste and size.
  • Baking powder is added to soften the outer shell of the beans, this is especially necessary for dry fava beans sold in the US market. You can add the baking powder at the beginning of cooking when using a slow cooker, but this is not the case when using an instant pot.
  • Check out the recipe card below for instant Pot instructions and other cooking methods.
  • I like adding lots of olive oil to my ful medames plate, but my husband introduced me to adding ghee. It gives a terrific flavor. More on that in the how to serve ful medames below. Please note these serving suggestions also work for canned beans bought from the Middle Eastern market.

🍽️ How To Serve Ful

Let me start by saying there are a lot of recipes for this classic Egyptian dish. Some are vegan, and others are not. You can almost dress a plate of cooked beans in endless ways. I am going to give you the most popular ways here, and I hope you'll find one that will appeal to you:

  • The most popular in Egypt is adding a mixture of flax oil and corn oil to ful medames after ful has been heated thoroughly on the stovetop. Do not heat the oil mixture on the stovetop. Spice it up with ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, cayenne pepper, or chili peppers and vinegar or lime juice. Serve with some green onions, this is called ful bel zeet el haar.
  • Pour a couple of tablespoons of olive oil and full medames in a saucepan, heat them up on medium heat, then add crushed garlic and diced tomatoes. Add salt and cumin to your personal preference.
  • Ful with ghee, in a saucepan melt ghee until hot then add in ful and mix everything well.
  • Mix with tahini, olive oil, lime juice, and cumin. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
  • Add a can of chickpea, olive oil, chopped parsley, cumin and salt.
  • Saute garlic and chopped red onion in oil then diced jalapeño. Add in diced sujuk/ hot dogs/sausages and cook. Add tomato sauce then ful. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place ful in an oven dish, season it with salt and pepper and mix in some oil. Crack a couple of eggs on top and bake until eggs are done.
  • Mashing foul medames with a potato masher, add some hard-boiled eggs, tomato, and parsley so for you to make another hearty lunch. Do not forget to season and add oil as well.
  • For a creamy fava beans, peel the beans and mash or process in a mini food processor.

Reheat - Thaw frozen ful in the fridge overnight or in a microwave-safe covered bowl. Reheat in a saucepan on the stovetop.

    Thanks for the instructions on making fun from dried beans. I was about to give up and just resign myself to cans. I always soaked them before, and as you said, the beans end ip as complete mush with hard chewy skins. I think this may be on tomorrow’s sahoor menu.

    I only cooked the mixture above for a total of 30 minutes in my InstantPot with NPR (above directions say to cook for an additional 30 min after adding baking powder), and it became complete mush. I did not add baking powder. The mixture looks nothing like the photo. It seems I could cook it for 15 minutes or less, and the beans would be more likely to retain their integrity.

    Hi,

    Do you think this would go with a traditional baharat mix or would this be a bit overwhelming? If this would work, do you recommend adding the mix to the slow cooker to cook for the entire time or add at the end when reheating?

    Also, would this be a good partner with fish, sardines for instance?

    Sorry for all the questions!
    Paul.

      Paul, I have never tried ful with bharat before but why not try in a small quantity? you might end up liking it. For the spices and everything else, add them while reheating and not while cooking. Ful is usually cooked plain and then prepared in many different ways before serving. I have not served beans with fish before and TBH I do not think it will appeal to me but who knows you might like it we are all have different taste. I hope this helps.

    Delicious. I used a pressure cooker (on the slow cooker setting), but used the pressure cooking setting for the last 35 minutes, and it turned out great. After finishing, I mashed the beans, added tahini, olive oil, chopped tomatoes,and cumin. It was fantastic. Thank you Amira for an amazing website and recipe. I love your site and use it regularly.

    For people who have a problem eating beans because of the gas, I suggest adding 2 tsp of baking soda when soaking the beans. It will help get rid of the gas before they are cooked. And let the beans soak overnight. My husband loves foul but it doesn't love him. When we add the baking soda while any type of beans are soaking it reduces the gas quite a bit.
