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

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned fava beans under cold water.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Using the back of a spoon, partially mash the beans in the saucepan, leaving some whole for texture.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Transfer the warm fava bean mixture to a serving bowl.

Step 6

Chop the tomatoes, red onion, and parsley into small pieces and sprinkle them on top of the beans as a garnish.

Step 7

Finish the dish with a light sprinkle of paprika on top and drizzle with additional olive oil if desired.

Step 8

Serve the Foul Mudammes warm with pita bread on the side and optional hard-boiled eggs for extra protein. Enjoy!
