Fool Madamis with Tahini and Lemon
A classic Egyptian fava bean dip, made creamy with tahini and brightened with lemon juice and herbs. Served with pita bread for dipping.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Canned Fava Beans
- 1/4 cup Tahini (Sesame Paste)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon Cumin
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 package Pita Bread
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Drain the 2 cups of canned fava beans using a colander, then rinse them under cool running water for about 30 seconds.
- 2Transfer the rinsed 2 cups of fava beans to a food processor. Add the 1/4 cup of tahini, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 cloves of garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the food processor.
- 3Process the mixture on high speed for 2 to 4 minutes, or until it is completely smooth and creamy. Stop the food processor and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- 4Remove the food processor blade. Add the 1/4 cup of fresh parsley to the fava bean mixture and stir it in by hand with a spoon or spatula until it is evenly distributed.
- 5Preheat your oven to 175°C. Place the 1 package of pita bread directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet and heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the pita bread is soft and warm to the touch.
- 6Serve the Fool Madamis immediately with the warm pita bread for dipping.
