Shahan ful

(Ful)

Shahan ful is a traditional dish from the countries of the Horn of Africa that is typically served for breakfast. The dish is made by slowly cooking fava beans in water until they soften, then mashing them into a purée. The purée is then combined with onions, lemon juice, berbere spices, chili peppers, and tomatoes.


When served, shahan ful is sometimes garnished with yogurt on top and accompanied by bread rolls on the side. The dish is especially popular during Lent and Ramadan.
