This Meal Saved Me Hundreds During Van Life + Home-Made Kombucha 🚐🍶

Foul Mudammas: A Vegan Delight from Egypt! 🇪🇬 Pronounced “ful” or “fool” this dish is more than just a meal — it’s a Sudanese cultural staple! 🫘🍛🇸🇸

Made with hearty fava beans, seasoned with ground cumin, and finished with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, it’s a creamy, comforting dish perfect for any time of day. I like to add a spicy twist with my smoked peprika, a dash of thyme, and diced garlic cloves, giving it that extra kick of flavor!🧄

Want to try it yourself? 😋🤗 You can find them near other canned beans or the international section at your local grocery store. Or try searching “African store near me” on google maps, or check out any of these stores in Omaha: African Foods & Deli Market, Omaha Tropical Market, Sudanese African Food Market, African Farms, and Juba Grocery — I purchased mine at East African Grocery Store on 24th in Leavenworth. 🛒🧆

If you prefer to start from scratch, you can buy dry fava beans online, or available in the bulk section of some grocery stores. On Amazon, try California Garden Fava Beans or Cortas Fava Beans for canned options, 🥫or Hunza Fava Beans and Bob’s Redmill Fava Beans for dry beans. 🫘

To enhance the flavor of your foul, add eggs, 🥚 tomatoes, 🍅 and gibna 🧀 (Egyptian cheese).

What is Gibna?

Domiati cheese, also known as Gibna Bayda 🧀(white cheese), is a soft white salty chesse made primarily in Egypt 🇪🇬 but also in Sudan 🇸🇸 and the Middle East. It’s the most common Egyptian cheese, typically made from buffalo milk 🦬 cow milk 🐄 or a mixture, but can also can be made from sheep 🐑 goat 🐐or camel milk! 🐫

I’m excited to take on a new hobby this week! Making home-made Kombucha! I’ve purchased my SCOBY online.

What is a SCOBY?

Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria & Yeast S.C.O.B.Y is a culinary symbiotic fermentation culture (starter) consisting of Lactic acid bacteria (LAB), acetic acid bacteria(AAB), and yeast which arises in the preparation of sour foods and beverages such as kombucha. 🍶🍵 I’ll be documenting it soon 😋🫶🏾
