August Ful Mudammas

A dear friend made this for me once and I will never forget it because it was the heartiest breakfast dish. Mornings are so special to me but making someone Foul is an act of love. This is so easy to make and a perfect breakfast alongside Palestinian taboon flatbread (or similar).
