Ful Medames with Olive Oil and Lemon

✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Fava beans
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 1/2 Lemon
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1/4 cup Parsley
• 1 Pita bread

Steps

1. Warm the fava beans in their liquid over medium heat 5 minutes; canned beans make this a weeknight dish.
2. Mash roughly with a fork, leaving plenty of texture; ful should be chunky, not pureed.
3. Stir in the grated garlic, cumin, and half the olive oil.
4. Spoon into a shallow bowl and pour the remaining olive oil over in a slow spiral.
5. Finish with lemon juice, parsley, and a pinch of cumin on top.
6. Serve warm with torn pita for scooping.
