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

  1. 1
    Place 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.
  2. 2
    While the eggs cook, dice the tomatoes, cucumber, green onions, and radishes. Set aside.
  3. 3
    In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. 4
    Add 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.
  5. 5
    Pour the warm fava beans into bowls. Top generously with the chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, and green onions.
  6. 6
    Slice the eggs in half and place on top. Drizzle everything with tahini and the remaining lemon juice.
  7. 7
    Serve immediately with toasted wholewheat bread.

Chef's Tips

  • If you have frozen parsley, sprinkle some on top for extra color.
