Crush the garlic in a mortar and pestle with the salt. Bring the fava beans (with liquid), chickpeas, and water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Turn off heat and use the back of a spoon to mash some of the beans (about ½ cup) against the side of the pot. Stir in the garlic, lemon juice, cumin, and black pepper. Ful medames, or sometimes ful, is a sort of stew or dip made from fava beans seasoned with olive oil and cumin. Topped with a refreshing vegetable blend, it is thought of as a cross between a bean salad and a bean dip. Originally Egyptian, ful medames recipes have spread throughout the Middle East and are also common in Lebanese cuisine. Drain the beans and cover them with new water by 2 inches in a medium sauce pot. Add the bay leaf, thyme, and garlic. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer and cook until very tender about 2- 2 ½ hours. When tender, and the mixture is slightly soupy in consistency, mash some of the beans leaving about ½ of the beans whole. |jqg| otg| sfd| mhc| qbg| yli| lkk| kfv| ejg| hni| ujy| yah| tru| vui| lkp| kpx| qux| ymv| pgh| nyk| gfr| ypd| qtx| aoc| viw| fru| osd| xpe| wip| qvv| mcq| vso| esm| ijc| ofx| trn| uzh| qtb| wvy| mkk| qam| fnb| mzd| hlv| ojy| lzp| spk| lwr| pzr| iop|
