Ingredients
- 2 15-oz cans Fava beans
- 3 tbsp Tahini
- 1 Lemon
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1/4 cup Parsley
Steps
- Warm the fava beans in their liquid over medium heat, 8 minutes, until completely tender — they should smash easily.
- Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the liquid, and crush roughly with a fork; foul is rustic, never smooth.
- Mash in the tahini, lemon juice, grated garlic, and cumin with splashes of the reserved liquid until creamy but chunky.
- Season with salt until the earthiness of the beans lifts.
- Spoon into bowls and make a well in the center for a generous pour of olive oil.
- Shower with parsley and serve with warm bread for scooping.
