A hearty, healthy salad featuring warm spiced fava beans, soft-boiled eggs, and plenty of crunch from fresh vegetables.
This protein-packed lunch puts a fresh spin on classic Ful Medames. By combining warm, creamy fava beans with cool, crisp cucumbers, radishes, and tomatoes, this dish offers a delightful contrast in temperatures and textures. It utilizes high-perishability ingredients like green onions and fresh eggs, creating a balanced meal rich in fiber and healthy fats, finished with a zesty lemon-tahini drizzle.
Ingredients
- 400 g Canned Fava Beans
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 2 stalks Green Onions
- 3 whole Radishes
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tsp Coriander Powder
- 0.5 fruit Lemon (Juiced)
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Tahini
- 2 slices Wholewheat Bread
Instructions
- 1Place the eggs in a pot of water, bring to a boil, and cook for 6-7 minutes for soft-boiled (or longer if preferred). Cool under cold water and peel.
- 2While the eggs cook, dice the tomatoes, cucumber, green onions, and radishes. Set aside.
- 3In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- 4Add the canned fava beans (with their liquid) and coriander powder to the pan. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, mashing slightly with a fork to thicken the texture. Stir in half the lemon juice.
