FOUL MUDAMMAS (FOOL MUDAMMAS)



Foul Mudammas (Fool Mudammas) image

Foul Mudammas is an Egyptian dish, although I am quite sure it is served readily throughout the Middle East. It can be served for breakfast, but serves equally well as an appetizer or healthy snack. This is my take on it. And although I am not an authority on the dish itself, I have cooked Middle Eastern food for over 30 years, and have never had a complaint, not even from people who have these type of culinary roots. I think you'll love it, even if the beans are visually dark and mysterious looking- there is nothing at all mysterious about delicious!

Categories     Breakfast

Time 2h45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups dry fava beans
salt
1 lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup minced Italian parsley
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 small cucumber, peeled and diced
1 medium tomatoes, diced
1/4 cup sliced green onion
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 pieces warm grilled pita bread, tandoori nan or 4 pieces other flat bread

Steps:

  • Sort the beans and place in saucepan; cover to two inches of water over the top of the beans. Bring to a boil; cook at a rolling boil for 3 minutes then remove from heat, cover and let set for one hour. This 3 minute prep works on most every bean that asks for soaking overnight. You could also soak overnight if you wish.
  • Drain liquid and add liquid again to up to 2 inches over the top of beans. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer until tender, an hour or two. Older beans will require longer cook times than newer ones. If by some stroke of bad luck your beans are too old and just don't get tender no matter what you do, toss them and remember next time to date the package and use within 6 months.
  • Mash beans if necessary to achieve the consistency of refried beans. It shouldn't be all pureed, as chunky bits of bean are most welcome and offer a pleasant texture.
  • Season beans with salt, garlic powder and lemon juice and cook for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Place warm beans in bowl, and top with a mixture of chopped parsley, diced tomato, diced cucumber, sliced green onion, and feta cheese. Season with a pinch of cayenne if you like and drizzle with a little bit of olive oil.
  • Serve with warm toasty grilled pita bread , tandoori nan, or your favorite flatbread.

Tips:

  • Choose dried fava beans that are whole and free of blemishes. Soaking the beans overnight or for at least 8 hours softens them and reduces the cooking time.
  • If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by bringing them to a boil in a large pot of water. Remove the pot from the heat, cover it, and let the beans soak for 1 hour. Drain the beans and rinse them well before using.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to cook the beans. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the beans from scorching.
  • Add salt to the cooking water only after the beans have softened. Adding salt too early can toughen the beans.
  • To make the dip, use a food processor or blender to purée the cooked beans until they are smooth and creamy. You can add a little water or olive oil to help the beans blend more easily.
  • Season the dip to taste with lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and salt. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cayenne pepper, or coriander.
  • Serve the dip with pita bread, crackers, or vegetables. You can also use it as a sandwich spread or as a topping for grilled meats.

Conclusion:

Middle Eastern bean dip, also known as foul mudammas, is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or main meal. It is a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins, and it is also relatively easy to make. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and authentic Middle Eastern dish that your family and friends will love.
