How to Make Fool Medemmas Fava Beans
- Rinse 1 pound of dried fava beans and soak them in water for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
- Drain the soaked fava beans and place them in a large pot. Add 6 cups of water and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the beans are tender but not mushy.
- While the beans are simmering, prepare your desired seasonings: 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 cloves of garlic, minced. (Optional: add 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley and 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint)
- Once the fava beans are cooked, drain any excess water, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.
- Return the fava beans to the pot. Add the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and any optional herbs. Mash gently with a potato masher or fork, leaving some beans whole for texture. Gradually add reserved cooking liquid until desired consistency is reached.
- Heat through for another 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve warm with pita bread and enjoy!
