Ful Medames

Instructions

  1. The day before, cover the 80 g of dried fava beans with three times their volume of cold water.

  2. Rinse them and cook them covered for 75 minutes in fresh water, until they crush between two fingers; drain, keeping a little of the water.

  3. Roughly mash half the beans with a fork with the 5 g of garlic, the cumin, the 22 g of lemon juice and the 12 g of olive oil, then mix with the rest to keep some texture.
