How to Make Foul
- Rinse 1 cup dried fava beans and place in a pot. Cover with 4 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour, or until beans are very tender.
- While the beans are simmering, mash 2 cloves garlic and 1-2 jalapeños (adjust to your spice preference) in a medium bowl.
- Once the beans are cooked, drain them well and add them to the bowl with the garlic and jalapeño mixture. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the beans until you achieve a thick, creamy paste. Leave some whole beans for texture if desired.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of tahini. Mix well to combine.
- Gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. Start with 1/4 cup and adjust as needed.
- Season generously with salt to taste. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional) or sprinkle on top as a garnish.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of high-quality olive oil over the Foul before serving.
- Serve immediately with warm pita bread, za'atar, lebene, and green olives.
- Enjoy your delicious and authentic Foul!
