Egyptian fava bean salad, also known as bagula, is a traditional Egyptian dish made with cooked fava beans, chopped parsley, green onions, fresh mint, boiled eggs, and a tangy dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, and salt. This protein-rich salad is a mainstay of Egyptian street food, often served as a refreshing appetizer or as an energizing breakfast or lunch. The fava beans lend a creamy, nutty flavor to the salad, beautifully complemented by the crunch of the parsley and green onions and the bright notes of the mint. The dressing adds a harmonious balance of acidity, saltiness, and a subtle hint of cumin that elevates the overall flavor profile.

Add the ground cumin and seeds, stir briefly then add the beans and lightly crush some of them as you heat them, adding some of the juice from the can to get a nice creamy consistency but keeping whole beans, too. Taste and add lemon juice and just a little seasoning if you need to.
