Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned fava beans
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 medium tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 2 tbsp parsley
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 4 pieces pita bread
- 2 large optional hard-boiled eggs
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned fava beans under cold water.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the drained fava beans, minced garlic cloves, and 1/4 cup of water. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the beans are warmed through, about 7-10 minutes.
Using the back of a spoon, partially mash the beans in the saucepan, leaving some whole for texture.
Stir in the lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper, ensuring the beans are well-coated in the seasoning. Adjust the seasoning to taste if needed.
Transfer the warm fava bean mixture to a serving bowl.
Chop the tomatoes, red onion, and parsley into small pieces and sprinkle them on top of the beans as a garnish.
Finish the dish with a light sprinkle of paprika on top and drizzle with additional olive oil if desired.
Serve the Foul Mudammes warm with pita bread on the side and optional hard-boiled eggs for extra protein. Enjoy!
