Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cans fava beans
- ½ medium onion (minced)
- Olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves roasted
- ½ cup of water
- Black pepper and salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- ½ cup lemon juice
- Red tomato diced
- Boiled eggs sliced
- Tahini sauce
- Onions sliced into rings
- Paprika
- Fresh cilantro or parsley minced
- Pepper flakes
Instructions
- Pour the canned fava beans into a colander to drain. Rinse in cold water and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan on medium heat. Sauté the chopped onions until they are translucent and golden. Add the garlic and cumin and cook for 1 minute until it releases an aroma. Put the beans in the pan and add about half a cup of water to the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, season with salt and pepper. Cover the pan.
- Cook the mixture over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the beans are cooked through. Remove the lid from the pan and continue cooking until the liquid decreases by about 75%. Bring down from the heat.
- Pour the bean mixture into a bowl. Add the fresh lemon juice. Mash the mixture to a semi-smooth consistency; it should be slightly chunky than hummus. You can use a potato masher or the back of a large metal spoon.
- Serve each serving as hummus on a plate. Create a shallow pool between the mudammas. Lightly sprinkle the olive oil in the dish and decorate with the ingredients you like. Serve hot

Notes
- To make Ful Mudammas from dry fava beans: Start with 1 cup of dry fava beans. Soak in plenty of water overnight (beans will expand in size.) Drain and discard soaking water. If you like, peel the beans and discard the hard skin. Place beans in a large pot or saucepan, and add plenty of water (about 5 cups or so.) Bring them to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover part-way and let simmer for about 1 hour. Drain and discard water. Proceed with ful mudammas recipe above.
- Where to find fava beans?: Fava beans are available in many grocery stores near other canned beans or particularly in the international section. You may also find dry fava beans in the bulk section near chickpeas. Otherwise, you can find canned fava beans via Amazon.
