In Egypt Ful Medames is a working man's breakfast - fava beans in a spicy sauce, often mashed like hummus, and served with lots of olive oil, lemon, sliced eggs and pita bread.
I spiced the ful with home-canned harissa and ras el hanout. Side dish of rice and red beans, cornbread and Greek pita, and coleslaw.
A typical ful medames breakfast served by an Egyptian street vendor will have pita bread, pickled vegetables and fresh rocket leaves on the side.
