There's an Egyptian preparation of ground favas with bulgur wheat,
spiced with the usual suspects such as garlic, paprika, mint, etc.
Sometimes, but not always, fried, this is called something like ful
medame, and spelled variously. For practical purposes it is identical to
felafel, which is, I believe, Lebanese in origin. 

Not sure if either is period...
