Add 750 grams of sliced vine ripen tomatoes, cover the pan, and steam for about 5 minutes.

Remove the skins of the tomatoes with a fork, season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and break into chunks.

Let the tomatoes simmer uncovered for about 10 to 15 minutes until reduced to a chunky hash and top with parsley.

For Mufraki, peel and cube 300 grams of frying potatoes, then fill a pan with oil halfway up the potatoes and heat over medium-high heat.

Add the potatoes in a single layer and fry for about 10 to 15 minutes until golden, turning occasionally.

Drain most of the oil, leaving about 2 tablespoons, then season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.

Add 3 whole eggs to the pan and scramble with the potatoes until cooked through.

For Qudsia, blend 200 grams of green chilies with 5 cloves of garlic until finely ground, then mix in 60 milliliters of lemon juice, 60 milliliters of olive oil, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Heat 400 grams of cooked fava beans in a pot over medium-low heat until tender, about 10 minutes.

Lightly crush the fava beans, then mix in 75 grams of prepared hummus, 1 tablespoon of tahini paste, and 4-5 heaping tablespoons of the chili seasoning, along with a handful of cooked chickpeas.
