Jordan

Jordanian breakfast: foul mudummas, shrak, halva. I have made foul several times for this project, and this was by far the best. I suppose the practice helps, but I think this recipe was clearer than others I’ve found as well. The trick is to let the fava beans cook out.

Foul is basically hummus, but with fava beans. The halva is a crumbly candy (like nougat) that is often sold in jewish delis. My wife grew up eating it; I’d never heard of it until this meal.
