Anyone know how to make foul madamas?

MSE_Jenny

Hello! We tried to make foul madamas (Egyptian breakfast with fava beans) last weekend, but it came out really wrong.

Although the beans were soaked overnight, they didn't cook properly.

Would be really grateful if anyone had a recipe or any tips! Thanks :-)

went on a google search and found this if this helps

use the dry brown fave beans - soak in cold water with a table spoon of bicarbonate soda powder for 2 days or till they are soft remove skin (if not skinless. when soft enough rinse in cold water.

How long did you cook the beans the next day? Some recipes call for 8-10 hours of boiling!!! :eek: :eek:

Would like to help but can't find my copy of Claudia Roden's middle eastern cookery book. I could swear I saw it just a couple of weeks ago (before OH tidied up ...). If I do, I'll look it up for you.
