“This take on ful medames, the Egyptian breakfast dish, benefits from the burrata that oozes out into it,” says Malouf. “It’s a wonderful marriage.”

Add oil, increase heat to medium-high and bring to the boil. Remove from heat and stir in parsley.

2.Transfer to a large shallow bowl and top with burrata. Sprinkle with extra cumin, chilli, purslane and 1 tsp sea salt and drizzle with oil to serve.
