Ful Medames (Egyptian Breakfast Fava Beans With Tahini)
Hummus is fine, but the real power legume of the Middle East is the fava bean. Ful medames is the Egyptian breakfast dish of favas stewed with tahini and seasoned with garlic, cumin, and lemon. This creamy, comforting version is much like what you'll find around the streets of Cairo.

Falafel With Black Olives and Harissa
When I first completed my recipe for falafel, my first thought was "That's great—now how do we make it hotter?"

I settled on harissa, the North African spice paste.
