Ingredients: 1 can of fava beans; 1 clove of garlic; A good pinch of salt; A pinch of cumin (or kamouneh); A good squeeze of lemon; A good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil

1

Open a can of fava beans and rinse the beans. Transfer to a small pot and cover with water and heat up for five minutes

2

Meanwhile in a wide bowl, add the salt and bash the garlic clove with a pestle. Add the cumin (or kamouneh) and lemon. Mix

Partially press some of the beans with a fork so some are squished and some are not. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary

Spoon the foul into a shallow bowl and drizzle some extra virgin olive oil

6

Garnish with finely chopped tomatoes and parsley (optional)

Serve with flat breads and a small side plate of pickles, sliced tomatoes, mint, olives, radishes and cucumber.
