Ingredients
-
2 cups cooked fava beans (canned or dried and cooked)
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 small red onion, finely chopped
-
1 tomato, diced
-
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
-
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
-
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
-
2 tablespoons lemon juice
-
1 teaspoon ground cumin
-
1/2 teaspoon ground paprika
-
1 Salt and black pepper to taste
-
1 Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
-
1 Injera bread or pita bread, for serving (optional)
Directions
If using dried fava beans, cook them according to the package instructions until soft and tender. If using canned fava beans, drain and rinse them.
Sauté Aromatics:
Direction: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped red onion. Sauté until the onions become translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Add Spices and Tomatoes:
Direction: Stir in the ground cumin, ground paprika, and diced tomatoes. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and release their juices.
Combine and Season:
Direction: Add the cooked or canned fava beans to the skillet. Mix everything together and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a touch of heat.
Finish and Serve:
Direction: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lemon juice, fresh parsley, and fresh cilantro. Mix well to combine. Serve the Ful Medames hot, optionally with injera or pita bread.
Traditionally, Ful Medames is served with injera bread in Ethiopia. You can also enjoy it with pita bread or your favorite gluten-free alternative. Customize your toppings with additional herbs, diced cucumber, or hot sauce for extra flavor.
