hi welcome to watchmojo.com my name is Enoch Robinson I'm with any courts comm and today I have a special guest joining me to show you a cooking recipe from Egypt I have Anthony chamois with me from Khepri expeditions you want to tell us a little bit about what Khepri expeditions is sure well we organized ecotourism trips and a lot of the activities that we organize while we're traveling we like to get people involved as much as possible with the locals so a perfect way to have a cultural exchange activity is through a cooking workshop so today we're going to be making full Madame s food mode Emmas yes which is very typical in Egypt you basically eat fool every single day when you wake up it's a good breakfast you can even have it for lunch and dinner and there's even an export tax on the fava beans which is the main ingredient as we're gonna see later because I think the government wants to make sure there's as many fava beans as possible that stay in Egypt it's such an important staple so we're gonna prepare the hot ingredients first then we're gonna prepare the cold ingredients third step is we're gonna put them together and eat it I love you so this first step putting together the hot ingredients what is going into our pot so we have fava beans chickpeas which are optional you could go with just five beans which is very typical we have some tomatoes chopped up we have some chopped up onions as well in this case it's red onions we have some garlic also really essential in this case chopped up with a little bit of ginger and we have a really essential spice cumin and we also have some turmeric and both of those spices by the way are really essential cancer-fighting spices so if you have a weakness in your family or you're concerned about protecting yourself against cancer you can throw those spices and just about everything that you eat it really does help should we start cooking let's go for it so Anthony how long are we going to cook this in the pot for now well since the beans have already been prepared we're going to be cooking this on low to medium heat for about 10 minutes constantly stirring and if you don't have beans already prepared then what I like to do is like prepare them during the weekend and then I have them in my fridge ready use for all sorts of recipes during the week for people that are on a gluten-free diet I really like this recipe because it's high in protein high in fiber this is a breakfast that's going to keep you going all morning long there's a lot of healthy benefits to all of the ingredients that go into this pot so we were cooking it and mixing it in on medium now we put it down to low we can leave it aside for a few minutes we don't want it to overcook but we will be serving it hot right so we've covered it to just make sure it stays nice and warm right now we're going to assemble the cold ingredients it's got some olive oil as rice tomatoes parsley coriander green onions some chives basil lime juice salt and pepper to taste delicious everything comes together really well yeah so let's do it okay why don't we add a little bit more olive oil since it's getting a little bit dry there we go gonna help you mix it up so now we're ready to assemble it and serve it yes so first things first so let's put some of the fool in here there we go that's a nice little portion to start with and it's my favorite part Matheny tell me when to stop well it's better not to put too much everybody eats it with a different level of toppings so start with a little bit and then you can keep adding if you like the flavor so it's really to taste so the next thing we're gonna add in some chopped egg so here I have about one and a half hard-boiled eggs chopped up I recommend that you use about one hard-boiled egg per person just nutritionally speaking you have about one about three-quarters of a portion of protein already in the bowl so we want to add in one more little portion but some people don't even eat eggs with their food but I love it so at least one egg for me don't hesitate and putting the yolk in when you use a whole egg it actually helps lower your hunger hormone for the next 24 hours while increasing your metabolism for the next 24 hours so it increases your your fat burning potential for the next 24 hours and it helps decrease your bad cholesterol and it increases your good cholesterol so don't be afraid to use eggs it's really that that's an old myth it's been debunked and so it's one of my favourite breakfast foods what's the next ingredient well we're gonna put some tequila so tahina is basically or tahini like some people would say it's basically a puree of sesame seeds mm-hmm and you know what I like about using a sesame seeds in just about anything is not only do they add a lot of flavor but they're a high source of protein high source of calcium and a high source of iron so you don't need dairy in order to get some calcium into your diet actually adding in some sesame seeds some hummus and tahini is a great way to go how much do I pick well if it was my plate you would put a lot but for demonstration purposes let's just put a little bit on there unless it's garnished with some parsley and now we're ready well thanks for watching watchmojo.com and thanks Anthony for joining us today
