Yield 4 bowls

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
6 cans (15 ounces each) fava beans, drained and rinsed
Grated rind and juice of 4 lemons
3 1/2 cups water
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Ful Medames turned out really bland. I think I might have forgotten to add some of the spices.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my Ful Medames turned out too watery. I think I might have added too much water.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think I can adjust the amount of spices to make it more mild.
