| 1 can fava beans |
For the Salsa:
| 3 garlic cloves (roughly chopped) | |
| 1 jalapeno pepper (seed was removed and chopped ) | |
| ½ red hot pepper (seeds removed and chopped) | |
| ¼ cup lemon juice | |
| ½ cup good olive oil | |
| ½ teaspoon salt | |
| ½ teaspoon cumin (optional) |
Preparation
1
Drain the can of fava beans and rinse them under running water.
Add the fava beans to a small saucepan and cover them with fresh water. Bring the water to a boil for about 4 minutes and then turn off the heat.
2
While the beans are boiling, use a mortar and pestle to pound and smash the garlic and hot peppers. Then transfer the mixture to a bowl.
To the bowl with the garlic and peppers, add salt, fresh lemon juice, and olive oil. Whisk everything together and set the bowl aside.
3
Once the fava beans are done boiling, drain them and save some of the water.
Transfer the beans to the mortar and smash them until they are broken, but not too fine. If the mixture is too dry, add a spoon or two of the reserved water and mix it in with the fava beans.
4
To assemble, transfer the smashed beans to a bowl and add two spoonfuls of the garlic chili sauce. Mix everything together, and then pour the remaining sauce on top.
Serve the Foul Mudamas with warm, fresh pita bread and enjoy!

Can You Store Foul Mudammas?
Yes, you can store foul! Keep leftover foul in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week. You can reheat it in a pan when you are ready to eat it.
You can also freeze the foul for up to three months in the freezer. Place it in a freezer-safe container and make sure it is completely sealed. When ready to eat the foul, take it out of the freezer and put it in the refrigerator overnight to defrost.
