Shami Foul (Fava Beans)
The Damascene way with foul: cooked fava beans seasoned with salt and cumin, then crowned with “badweh” — a creamy blend of yogurt, tahini, lemon and garlic. Showered with parsley, mint and tomato and a drizzle of olive oil, it is a breakfast that feels like a feast.

✦ Chef Noor's Tip
For the silkiest badweh, use room-temperature yogurt and loosen the sauce with a splash of warm water if it is too thick.
