This is a protein-packed, and entirely vegetarian bowl that represents tasty street food and the country’s most humble dinner. Foul medames is a slow-cooked fava bean dish spiced with cumin, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice, along with falafel, hummus, a variety of olives, and a finely diced feta and tomato salad. Boiled eggs tossed and crusted in ghee or butter is my grandpa’s only way of eating eggs, and it brings texture and extra flavor to the bowl. Pita bread and tahini sauce
