FOUL MUDAMMAS (EGYPTIAN FAVA BEANS)



Foul Mudammas (Egyptian Fava Beans) image

Foul mudammas recipe, made with hearty, creamy fava beans and loaded with flavor from ground cumin, fresh herbs, and a zippy lemon garlic sauce with hot peppers! Don't worry, the sauce is not spicy, but it adds just the right kick. I use a shortcut in this quick fava beans recipe. Serve it with warm pita bread and sliced veggies. Or turn it into a big vegan feast with falafel and sides like tahini, hummus, and roasted cauliflower!

Yield 3-4

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, freshly toasted
Kosher salt
2 (15-ounce) cans fava beans
3 tablespoons tahini
2 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice from 2 lemons, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Procedures 1 Put garlic cloves, cumin seeds, and a pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle and crush until seeds are cracked and garlic is in small, flimsy chunks. If you don't have a mortar and pestle, mince garlic very fine. 2 Empty fava beans (with liquid) into a medium saucepan and combine with tahini and garlic paste.

Time 15m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (16 ounce) can fava beans (you can find at any middle eastern store, maybe even like a trader joe's or organic store)
1 small lemon, juice of, only
3 tablespoons canola oil (or any oil you prefer)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 onion (Small size and chopped- optional, if you don't want to use just skip step number 1)
pita bread

Steps:

  • Chop up a small onion with a bit of oil and sauté in small pot until tender, remove from heat.
  • Open can of fava beans and dump into pot, along with juices, do not drain.
  • Take a potato smasher and smash up the fava beans. I leave a few whole, but basically smash up most of them.
  • Add salt, ground cumin and cayenne pepper to your liking.
  • Squeeze juice of lemon into pot.
  • Add a splash of olive oil.
  • Heat just to boil and then that's it.
  • Spoon some beans into a flat bowl, splash some oil on top of them. I like to add the following garnish, but you can leave garnish out and just eat that way they are just as yummy too.
  • This is something I do sometimes to this dish as well-MY SPECIAL GARNISH. 1. Chop a few slices of red onion fine. 2. Chop a small (or half) green bell pepper finely. 3. Chop a handful of black olive slices finely. 4. Chop a small tomato finely. 5. A little bit of chopped parsley 6. Drizzle of tahina.
  • Okay now you add all these finely chopped veggies around the bowl edge and finish off with a drizzle of tahina in middle of bowl. Looks beautiful! Then i mix all together and eat it mixed up!

Tips:

  • To save time, you can use canned fava beans. Just be sure to rinse them well before using.
  • If you don't have tahini, you can use a combination of peanut butter and lemon juice.
  • Ful medames is traditionally served with pita bread, but you can also serve it with rice or vegetables.
  • To make a vegetarian version of ful medames, simply omit the eggs.
  • Ful medames can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Ful medames is a delicious and healthy breakfast dish that is easy to make. It is a great way to start your day and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a traditional Egyptian breakfast or a new and exciting way to start your day, ful medames is a great option.
