Notes

Leftovers

You can refrigerate foul mudammas (that’s been seasoned and jazzed up with fresh toppings) in a tight-lid glass/ plastic container for about 2 days (maybe 3 at most). Bring to room temperature and enjoy with pita bread.
If you have cooked fava beans that are plain, those can last in the fridge a couple more days. Be sure the fava beans are fully cooled before storing in the fridge or they become dampened :(
