KACANG POOL RECIPE
 Prep time: 20 min / Cook time: 30 min

Yield: serves 4-6

Ingredients:

2 cans of foul medammas beans (you can find this at most Middle Eastern grocery stores) 1 lb ground beef 1 small red onion, finely diced 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 inch ginger, grated 1 tsp fennel seeds 1/2 tsp cumin seeds 1/2 tsp coriander seeds 1 cup water 1-2 Tbsp butter or ghee Salt and sugar to taste

Garnish:

2 shallots, finely diced 1 green or red chilli, sliced thin 4 calamansi limes (use regular limes if you cannot find calamansi), halved 1/4 cup cilantro, roughly chopped 4-6 eggs, cooked sunny side up 4-6 slices buttered toast

Method:

1. In a small fry pan, toast your fennel, cumin and coriander till fragrant. Let it cool and then, grind to a powder. Set aside.

2. Drain the cans off foul medammas, and mash one can and leave the other can of beans whole.

3. In a medium saute pan, melt the butter and add the diced onion, garlic and ginger on medium heat. Stir till onions are translucent.

4. Add in ground spices and saute till fragrant.

5. Add the beef and saute, breaking up larger chunks till all the ground beef is mostly cooked through. Season with some salt.



6. Add in the foul medammas beans and a cup of water and combine. If the mixture is too thick, add more water. Let it come to a boil, then lower heat to simmer. If the whole beans are too chunky, feel free to mash them up a little. The mixture should have the consistency of chilli. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes on low heat making sure that there is enough liquid. If the mixture looks dry, add more liquids. 

7. In the meantime, prepare your garnish, fry your eggs, and toast and butter your bread.

8. Season with salt and a little sugar to taste. Remember that the calamansi, chillies and shallots will add more flavor to the dish but you do want it to be salty enough.

9. Once it is flavored to your liking, dish out into individual bowls. Serve the egg on top. Garnish with shallots, chillies, and cilantro to your liking. Squeeze some lime juice over your bowl.  10. Dig in with a spoon, making sure to break the egg yolk all over the beans and use the bread to sop up the yummy mess.

 Enjoy the Kacang Pool!!!
