Ful, or breakfast mashed beans, can be served on a special occasion, such as Eid breakfast, or on just any regular day of the week. However, because it is a breakfast you would like to consume at your leisure, I recommend it as a weekend breakfast.
While a can of broad beans was and is commonly used, you can go through the trouble of soaking and boiling your own. Flavor is injected through the gutsy additions of onion, garlic, and chilli. Tomato mellows it out, and fresh lemon wedges are absolutely essential upon serving. Flatbread is traditional to scoop. Depending on how hot you like your food, you can either keep or discard the chilli seeds.

simple arabic ful ingredients :

2 Tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, fine dice
3 cloves garlic, grated
1 green chilli
1 tomato, diced
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp salt & pepper
1 tsp cumin
1 can ful

How make simple arabic ful :

Saute in the oil the onion, garlic, and chilli until pungent and starting to soften.
Add the tomato and tomato paste, stir a bit to cook them.
Add the spices and the can of ful.
As it cooks, mask it rusticly with your wooden spoon against the side of the pot. Add water to adjust consistency to your linking.
It should be a fairly solid puree, but not sold enough to have cracks.
Simmer for 5 minutes longer.
