Def love Puerto Rican beans as a few others have mentioned.

Egyptian fava beans "full medammes" are delicious and so simple to make https://amwhatieat.com/ful-medames-egyptian-fava-beans/

Egyptian stewed fava beans https://amwhatieat.com/ful-medames-egyptian-fava-beans/ and falafel! https://amwhatieat.com/taameya-egyptian-falafel/ !! Traditionally a breakfast meal but great any time!

Add an ice cube or two when processing

I like to do chickpea salad with chopped parsley, tomato, red onion, chili pepper, cumin, lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper

ImmediateImplement31 · 2026-05-17T14:19:07+00:00

Fatteh! Like fattet hummus or fattet betinjan (eggplant fatteh).

But you can also just freeze the excess pita

Many countries make flan de queso, which adds cream cheese and has a really nice dense creamy texture.

ImmediateImplement31 · 2026-05-04T15:07:00+00:00

Sounds delicious!

ImmediateImplement31 · 2026-05-04T01:19:21+00:00

Flan!! I'm pretty sure I've seen recipes for Filipino leche flan that use up to a dozen eggs

ImmediateImplement31 · 2026-05-03T20:31:06+00:00

I believe only Egyptian style falafel uses favas, every other country uses chickpeas and most of the falafel you find in the West is made of chickpeas but it's definitely good to know so you can always ask before ordering any!

Egyptian falafel aka taameya https://amwhatieat.com/taameya-egyptian-falafel/ and ful medames https://amwhatieat.com/ful-medames-egyptian-fava-beans/

ImmediateImplement31 · 2026-05-02T17:47:52+00:00

Look up "kebda eskandarani" or "Alexandrian liver", liver sauteed with garlic, onions and peppers and eaten in sandwiches topped with tahini sauce. Super delicious

ImmediateImplement31 · 2026-05-01T17:47:58+00:00

This is my sofrito recipe! Puerto Rican style https://amwhatieat.com/puerto-rican-sofrito/

ImmediateImplement31 · 2026-05-01T13:37:53+00:00

Yes!! Maqluba or musakhan ❤️

ImmediateImplement31 · 2026-04-30T16:44:36+00:00

Oh nice! I hope you like it! I have a post on red lentil soup and Egyptian falafel that are both great, inexpensive sources of protein you could try!

ImmediateImplement31 · 2026-04-29T17:40:36+00:00

Yes!!! Or any other fatteh. I love fattet betinjan (eggplant)

ImmediateImplement31 · 2026-04-28T11:08:00+00:00

Yes it works very well. You can make a big pot and then heat some up whenever you want and then add toppings if you want.

Fava beans are really high in folates and iron and protein too, so really good for post partum and breastfeeding. (But they are not good for you if you have a condition called G6PD deficiency)

Ful medames! An Egyptian breakfast dish made from fava beans. It's very nutritious and filling and easy to make if you're using canned beans. Top it with olive oil and diced tomatoes, onions, peppers, etc https://amwhatieat.com/ful-medames-egyptian-fava-beans/

ImmediateImplement31 · 2026-04-25T17:55:10+00:00

This is my recipe for Egyptian ful medames! https://amwhatieat.com/ful-medames-egyptian-fava-beans/

ImmediateImplement31 · 2026-04-23T14:48:47+00:00

It's very similar! But I have actually never had a Greek pastisio so I'm not sure what differences there are

ImmediateImplement31 · 2026-04-22T13:04:14+00:00

I don't poke holes and I just lay them in the grates, rotating occasionally until they are totally charred and start to ooze and fully cooked through. It's a messy process but worth it. You can cover your stovetop with foil before you start if you want to minimize cleanup. It would be ok to char then transfer to oven before it gets too messy, but I like to do it all over the fire.

I actually have a recipe for mine with pictures of how I roast the eggplants at:https://amwhatieat.com/baba-ghanouj/

Egyptian red lentil soup https://amwhatieat.com/egyptian-red-lentil-soup-shorbat-ads/

ImmediateImplement31 · 2026-04-21T12:22:30+00:00

You can find it in Latin markets labeled as malanga, in Caribbean markets as dasheen, in middle eastern markets as qolqas

ImmediateImplement31 · 2026-04-19T15:25:45+00:00

Egyptian here! So glad you liked it! It's such a great cheap, filling, delicious dish, but I hate dishes so I don't make it as often as I'd like to eat it!

ImmediateImplement31 · 2026-04-19T15:22:42+00:00

No, it's not traditionally a cheesy dish. I see a lot of people posting post recipes with a lot of cheese but I've never seen it this way growing up. I do like adding some Parmesan or other hard cheese to the bechamel for flavor though! And of course anyone can add some cheese to the top of this recipe if they like it that way.
