Dairy-Free Egyptian Ful Medames (Fava Bean Stew)

Instructions

1. 1Open the 2 15-oz cans of fava beans, drain them, and rinse them under cool water.
2. 2Place the drained and rinsed fava beans into a large heavy-bottomed pot. Heat the fava beans over medium heat (176.7°C / 175°C) until they are warmed through, which should take about 5 to 10 minutes. While the beans are warming, prepare the dressing.
3. 3Finely mince the 3 cloves of garlic. In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, 4 tablespoons of lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of hot sauce, 0.5 teaspoon of paprika, and 0.75 teaspoon of salt until well combined.
4. 4Using a fork, gently mash some of the fava beans directly in the pot to create a slightly thicker texture. Be careful not to mash all of them.
5. 5Pour the prepared dressing over the warmed fava beans in the pot. Stir gently to coat the beans evenly.
6. 6Finely chop the 0.25 cup of fresh parsley and dice the 0.25 cup of red onion. Sprinkle the chopped parsley and diced red onion over the fava beans.
7. 7Serve the Ful Medames warm.
