What it is
A keto-friendly interpretation of the popular Eritrean breakfast dish 'Ful', traditionally made with fava beans. This version substitutes fava beans with low-carb black soybeans, seasoned with cumin, onions, and tomatoes, then typically topped with hard-boiled or scrambled eggs, fresh green chilies, and a generous drizzle of olive oil.
Key ingredients
Canned black soybeans (rinsed and drained), onions, tomatoes (diced), garlic, green chilies, cumin powder, olive oil, hard-boiled eggs (or scrambled eggs), salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Confirm black soybeans are used instead of fava beans. Request no bread (e.g., kitcha or injera) on the side.
Watch out for
Onions, tomatoes, trace carbs in black soybeans (though net carbs are low), potential hidden sugars in any pre-made chili pastes.
