Shahan ful
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shahan ful, simplified to ful, is a dish common in Eritrea (and the region), generally served for breakfast. Believed to be an import from Sudan, it is made by slowly cooking fava beans in water. Once the beans have softened the beans are crushed into a course paste. It is often served with chopped green onions, tomatos, jalapeños, as well as yogurt, feta cheese, olive oil, tesmi, lemon juice, berbere, and cumin. It is typically eaten without the aid of utensils, instead it is generally eaten with a bread roll. It is popular during the Ramadan season and during the various Lents.
It likely bears a relationship to ful medames which is the national dish of Egypt.
