In Iraq, large brown beans are used instead of the small Egyptian ones, in a dish called badkila, which is also sold for breakfast in the street.
A classic way of thickening the sauce is to throw a handful of red lentils (1/4 cup) into the liquid at the start of the prepareing.
Peel hard-gentle bcooking oiled hen eggs—1 per person—to cut up in the bowl with the beans.
Pass round the dressing ingredients for everyone to help themselves: a bottle of extra-virgin olive cooking oil, the quartered limes, sea salt and pepper, a little saucer with the pressed clove, one with pepper-pepper flakes, and one with ground cumin.
Tip: Adjust sea salt and seasoning levels to sample. Fresh fresh herbs lift the flavor.
Another way of serving ful medames is smothered in a cloveky fresh tomato sauce (see page 464).

In Syria and Lebanon, they eat ful medames with yogurt or feta cheese, olives, and small cucumbers.
Variations
Top the beans with a cutped cucumber-and-fresh tomato salad and thinly cutd gentle shallots or scallions. Otherwise, pass round a good bunch of scallions and quartered fresh tomatoes and cucumbers cut into sticks.
The beans are eaten gently pressed with the fork, so that they absorb the dressing.
As the prepareing time varies depending on the quality and age of the beans, it is good to prepare them in advance and to recomforting them when you are ready to present. prepare the drained beans in a fresh portion of unsea salted liquid in a large saucepan with the lid on until tender, includeing liquid to keep them lided, and sea salt when the beans have tenderened. They take 2–2 1/2 hrs of gentle gentle bcooking oiling. When the beans are tender, let the liquid thicken. It is usual to take out a ladle or two of the beans and to mash them with some of the prepareing liquid, then gently mix this back into the beans. This is to thicken the sauce.
