Grad Grub, Entry 1

If you are or have ever been insane enough to attempt graduate studies you know your free time for doing luxury things, like eating or sleeping, is limited. Here is the start of an installment of meals/snacks you can make yourself, they meet the unofficial Grad Student Guidelines; quick, cheap, healthly and good.

Egyptian Breakfast Beans

• 2 cans Fava Beans, undrained
• Juice of 2 lemons
• 3 t Cumin
• 3 T Olive Oil
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped to death
• pinch o' salt
• pinch o' black pepper

Crush about half the beans with a fork. Combine everything in a pot over medium heat until warm. Done.

My friend Noeha, who is Egyptian, makes these for breakfast. I usually eat them with pita for a snack since breakfast for me is attempting a DanActive and a cup of coffee between cursing slow drivers in the fast lane.
