Foul (Ful) Moudamas (Egyptian fava bean breakfast)

Foul moudamas, ful mudammas, foul mudammas, fool medames ... however you choose to spell it, it means the same thing.

 This is an Egyptian and Middle Eastern breakfast recipe that is simple and delicious. I've seen other versions on the web but this is the way my mom makes it.

 My mom serves this with a plate of fresh cucumber slices, tomato slices, radishes and some fresh herbs. I've tried making it with black beans and it tastes okay, but it's not the same. 

 Since legumes are allowed in phase one of both The South Beach Diet and Atkins, this is a great choice for breakfast if you're tired of eating eggs.
