Ful Medames with Vegetables and Tahini
Ingredients
- 400 g dried and cooked fava beans (keep the water) or 2 cans canned fava beans
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 green chili, chopped
- 1 big tomato, chopped
- Cumin
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp tahini
- Juice of one lemon
- Chopped parsley
Preparation
If using dried fava beans, soak overnight then cook according to the package instructions, removing the foam that forms on the top. Keep the liquid for later.
In a large pan, heat up some olive oil, then add onion and cook until translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Add garlic and green chili, and cook for one more minute.
Add tomatoes, and cook until they break down, about 10 minutes.
Add the cooked beans with some of their water (enough to cover them). If using canned beans, rinse them first and add water in the same way. Also add some cumin, fresh parsley, cover, and continue cooking for another 10 minutes.
Blend part of the beans, or all of them, depending on the desired texture.
Stir in lemon juice, tahini, salt, pepper, and more parsley.
Serve, season with a good amount of olive oil, fresh parsley, and tomatoes.
