Very flavorful, with the perfect amount of spice. I did not include the optional potato, but I think it would have been a very nice addition. I really enjoyed this with some flatbread for breakfast. This was my first-ever recipe using fava beans, and I was pleasantly surprised. By the way, it's a good idea to let the leftovers come to room temp before serving (it's not as good cold, I don't think). Thanks for posting!

This recipe is awesome — my new favorite appetizer/dip/mush, surpassing longtime favorites hummous and baba ghanooj. I omitted the oil to make it virtually fat free (I mostly practice a Dean Ornish-style diet). That made it a bit dense but the flavor was still superb. Thanks!

Well I have to say thank you for putting this recipe up. I was looking for ethiopian foul so I found this a bit different, it must be the spices but it was still pretty good. I added some sugar to sweeten it up a bit and chopped some raw jalapeno and red onion and added it as a garnish at the end. I also used butter as that is what I've had in foul before. Thanks again!
