This is no April Fool, but rather a seriously hearty and delicious meal — even if you do eat it on the first day of April. This recipe is a take on the popular Middle Eastern breakfast, "ful mudammas," which is traditionally made from fava beans.
The recipe has been adapted to use cannellini beans because they are more common in grocery stores in the U.S. and pair well with olive oil. Although the flavor will differ from the original dish, this recipe is quite versatile and will work with various types of beans and garnishes.
For the best eating experience, add some fresh garnishes and serve with whole-wheat pita bread.
Common garnishes for this dish include diced fresh tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, and minced parsley, but feel free to add other herbs and vegetables to make it your own. Or leave off the hard-boiled eggs to make this a satisfying vegan dish.
