Drain the can of fava beans and rinse them under running water. \nAdd the fava beans to a small saucepan and cover them with fresh water. Bring the water to a boil for about 4 minutes and then turn off the heat.

While the beans are boiling, use a mortar and pestle to pound and smash the garlic and hot peppers. Then transfer the mixture to a bowl. \nTo the bowl with the garlic and peppers, add salt, fresh lemon juice, and olive oil. Whisk everything together and set the bowl aside.

Once the fava beans are done boiling, drain them and save some of the water. \nTransfer the beans to the mortar and smash them until they are broken, but not too fine. If the mixture is too dry, add a spoon or two of the reserved water and mix it in with the fava beans.

To assemble, transfer the smashed beans to a bowl and add two spoonfuls of the garlic chili sauce. Mix everything together, and then pour the remaining sauce on top. \nServe the Foul Mudamas with warm, fresh pita bread and enjoy!
