Vegetarian cuisine

For centuries, Egyptians have mastered the use of ingredients grown in the fertile Nile Valley, creating a rich tradition of vegetarian cuisine. Fool is a thick porridge made from brown broad beans that have been boiled for hours and seasoned with lemon, various spices, oil, and sometimes tomatoes. It is often enjoyed with sesame sauce. Taamia are crispy fried vegetable balls made from mashed fava beans and savory spices.
