Comment préparer Ful Medames Egyptian Fava Beans

Soak 1 cup of dried fava beans in 8 cups of water overnight (at least 8 hours).
Drain the soaked beans and rinse thoroughly.
Place the rinsed beans in a large pot and cover with 6 cups of fresh water.
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the beans are very tender. Add more water if needed to prevent sticking.
Once tender, drain the beans, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.
Transfer the beans to a medium bowl.
Add 1/4 cup of olive oil, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional), 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, and salt to taste. (Adjust spices to your preference)
Mash the beans partially or completely to your desired consistency using a potato masher or fork. If not fully mashing, gently mix the ingredients together.
Stir in a little of the reserved cooking liquid if needed to reach desired consistency.
Serve hot, topped with a fried egg and pita bread. Enjoy!
