Ful Mudammas (Egyptian Breakfast Fava Beans With Tahini) Recipe
- 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
- 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.
- Empty fava beans (with liquid) into a medium saucepan and combine with tahini and garlic paste. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until liquid retains some brothiness but turns thick and sauce-like, about 5 minutes.
- Add lemon juice and salt to taste. Mash one third of the beans with a potato masher to thicken if desired, then serve with toasted pita.
