Bean feast
gavin:
I'm a very happy man tonight! Anybody else here like middle eastern cooking? I've just found something out.
I had (I thought) far too many broad beans back in July, so I cut several plants and hung them to dry. Shelled them today, and I'm cooking them now - a huge pot of them, very, very slowly.
Why so happy? They're the same bean as the Ful Bean of the Middle East - same colour, same cooking technique, and .... and ...... and ........... they taste right! The same substantial, almost meaty taste I grew to love when I lived in Egypt and Yemen.
No more tins of Chinese imitations. And a lot more beans to grow next year!
They'll be ready in time for a proper Egyptian breakfast - eeeh, I'll not sleep!
All best - Gavin.

budgiebreeder:
You've made my mouth water Gavin. i've been to Egypt several times and loved the food.
gavin:
Not just happy, but well stuffed - very, very full indeed. Just plain simple Egyptian style ful, with pitta bread and a salad. And it tasted right.
I'll work up some of the different recipes I know - everywhere I went in the middle east used this staple in a different way.
What were you doing in Egypt, budgiebreeder?
All best - Gavin
