Garnishing

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak the Fava Beans

    In a large bowl, soak the fava beans in water for at least 8 hours or overnight. This will help to soften the beans.

  2. 2

    Cook the Fava Beans

    Drain and rinse the soaked fava beans. In a pot, combine the fava beans and 4 cups of fresh water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 1 hour or until the beans are tender.

Flavoring

  1. 3

    Prepare the Seasoning

    In a separate pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

  2. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked fava beans to the pan with the garlic, then add lemon juice, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Serving

  1. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Transfer the foul mixture to a serving dish. Top with chopped parsley, chopped tomatoes, and chopped onion. Serve warm as a dip with pita bread or as a side dish.
