Fuul Mudammas! فول مدمس

Last Updated on March 12, 2023 by Jacqueline Rafidi

Ingredients:
1 can fuul (fava beans – NOT the premade fuul mudammas), rinsed and drained
½ bunch parsley, washed & half of stems cut off
½ lemons juice
½ to 1 jalapeno, seeds and veins removed
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons tahini paste
Salt to taste
Extra Virgin olive oil for topping

Directions:
In a small saucepan, add the fava beans and cover them with water. Place on the stove on medium high heat and bring to a boil. Set aside

Dice the garlic and jalapeno and add to a mortar and pestle. Add in the parsley and salt and grind until a very rough paste forms. Add in the lemon juice to the mortar and pestle and mix with the rest of the ingredients. (If you don’t have a mortar and pestle, a mini food processor will work as well.

Remove most of the water used to boil the fava beans, reserving about ¾ cup with the beans in the same sauce pan. Using the same pestle (the pounding tool) or a fork, mash up the beans with their water until desired consistency is reached. Add in the tahini and ½ of the parsley and jalapeno mix and stir.

Taking 2 plates (or one – but we always use 2 for this amount of fuul), place the fuul in the center. Top with the remainder of the parsley garnish along with a good drizzle of olive oil and enjoy! Sahtein!
