Ful medames is an iconic bean stew popular across the Middle East, gently spiced with cumin, cinnamon, cayenne and paprika. Here, it's served with malawach, a crisp, layered Yemeni flatbread not too dissimilar to Indian parathas. Topped with a spoonful of yoghurt and a lemony lovage, basil and parsley pesto, it's an incredible dish that belies its simple ingredients.
