Subject: Fuul -Yemeni Stew
> I lived in Sana'a, Yemen and absolutely loved a dish called
"fuul//fool/ful." It was a mashed bean dish with lots of garlic, oil, and
hot peppers (in Arabic, pronounced "bis bas"). I have searched high and low
and can't find anything like it. I know there are many Yemeni people in
Dearborne, Michigan, but I'm in Texas. Fuul tastes very similiar to the
lentil soup I had driving through Chattanooga, Tennessee at a chain called
"The Atlanta Bread Company." I can't find a recipe for that either. Thank
you so much!

Hello Herman,
I did not find any Yemeni recipes for fuul, but fuul is popular throughout
the Middle East, particularly in Egypt. See below for three recipes.
Phaed
Fuul
Fuul, or Fuul Medammis, is one of the most popular dishes in Egypt that is
made from Fava beans. It is commonly served for breakfast, from street
vendors with steaming idras, or pots, of tender fava beans seasoned with
olive oil, spices and hard-boiled egg.
1 c. dried small, fava bean, soaked overnight and drained
1/4 olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 c. lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, crushed
4 hard-boiled eggs, shelled
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
Place the fava beans in a pot and cover with water; then cover the pot and
cook over medium heat for 45 minutes to an hour until they are very tender,
adding more water if necessary. Drain the beans, and place in a mixing bowl;
then add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, salt, pepper, ground coriander,
cumin, lemon juice and garlic and mix well until some of the beans are
slightly crushed. Transfer to 4 soup bowls; then place an egg in the center
of each plate. Sprinkle each plate with the remaining oil; then garnish with
the coriander leaves and serve.
---------------------------------------
Ful Medames (Egyptian Fava Beans)
Ful is often eaten for breakfast, and is sold by Egyptian street vendors as
fast-food.
2 cup small, dry fava beans (also called broad beans)
4 cups water
6 cloves garlic, or to taste
1 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons minced parsley
Garnishes:
radishes, chopped
hard-boiled eggs, chopped
scallions, chopped
toasted pita bread, cut into wedges
Wash beans, removing any that are discolored. Place in a large stockpot
with water. Allow to soak overnight. The next day, add enough water to
cover. Bring beans to a boil over medium heat. Lower heat, cover and simmer
for 2 hours or until beans are tender. (Add additional water if necessary.
Use only boiling water or beans will toughen).
While beans are cooking, mash garlic and sea salt together in a bowl or
food processor. Mix lemon juice, olive oil and parsley. Add to garlic
mixture. When beans are cooked, drain, reserving 1 tablespoon cooking
liquid. Add garlic mixture and reserved liquid to beans. Stir to combine.
Serve warm with garnishes arranged on a platter. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
===================================================
Ful Mudammas (Fava Bean Stew)
The rich man's breakfast, the shopkeeper's lunch, the poor man's supper.
This Arabic saying captures the versatility of ful mudammas. Ful (pronounced
"FOOL"), which means "fava bean," is often eaten for breakfast. Ful
mudammas, a kind of dried fava bean stew, is considered the Egyptian
national dish. Read more about ful here.
Ingredients:
3 pounds small dried fava beans (about 6 cups), picked over and soaked in
water to cover 24 hours
1 large onion, chopped
2 large ripe tomatoes, chopped
3/4 cup dried red lentils, picked over and rinsed
2 1/2 quarts cold water
Salt to taste
Cooking Instructions:
1. Drain the fava beans. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the fava beans,
and boil them until they are soft enough to have their peels removed, about
10 to 15 minutes. Drain, then remove the peel by gently squeezing each bean
so the skin pops off or by using a paring knife.
2. Place the peeled fava beans in a stewpot with the onion, tomatoes, and
lentils and cover with the water. Bring to a gentle boil, skim the top of
foam and reduce the heat to very low or place on a heat diffuser. Cover and
cook for 12 hours. Don't lift the cover at all during the entire cooking
time, otherwise the beans will discolor.
3. The cooked fava beans can be eaten whole, slightly mashed, or completely
mashed. Season with salt. Serve with extra virgin olive oil, corn oil,
melted butter, samna (clarified butter), tomato sauce (see below), garlic
sauce (see below), basturma (sun-dried spice-rubbed beef fillet available in
Middle Eastern markets), fried eggs, hard-boiled eggs, freshly squeezed lime
juice, or béchamel sauce.
Note 1: You need not halve this large yielding recipe because ful keeps well
in the refrigerator up to a week and is excellent reheated.
Note 2: Garlic sauce (or taqliyya) is made by pounding some garlic with a
little salt in a mortar and then adding some coriander seed or chopped
coriander leaves and turning this into the ful or spooning it on top of a
serving.
Note 3: Egyptian-style tomato sauce, dim'a musabika, is made by cooking a
chopped medium onion in 1/4 cup olive oil with six crushed garlic cloves and
then stirring in a six-ounce can of tomato paste mixed with four cups of
water, two teaspoons white wine vinegar, two teaspoons salt, one teaspoon
black pepper and 1ű2 teaspoon caynne pepper and cooking on low for 20
minutes.
Makes 10 servings

> I would love the recipe for the Mexican Pizza that Broward County, Florida
school districts serve. I know I'm weird for wanting something a school
cafeteria serves, but even decades after attending school, some of my
friends and I still drool over the thought of that dish. It was a white
flour flat bread with holes, a thin red sauce, some form of hamburger or
sausage, and then melted cheddar cheese. I did contact the cafeteria people
in Florida, and they said they get them already prepared from a food company
in Pennsylvania. Could you get the recipe for us? I'd be so grateful!

I could not find a recipe for maryanns from Ebinger's Bakery. In fact, there
are only three Ebinger's recipes that I have ever been able to find. See
this page:

whether either of them is what your friend remembers. These recipes are
below.
