[Tuesday 10th March]
Ful Medames is one of my absolute favourite middle eastern dishes - it's essentially just a fairly simple bean stew, made with fava beans (that's broad beans to the British among you) but I find it incredibly satisfying. Recently we had popped into a Lebanese delicatessen and picked up a tin of the stuff, and so that formed the basis for tonight's dinner. It was quite a feast if I may say so - I also threw together a Mediterranean salad, some fried halloumi, another dish of broad beans with tomato and crushed garlic, some hoummous, as well as the obligatory olives and Lebanese bread.
