Fool Medammas is such a tasty & healthy dish, but when making it the traditional way from scratch it can be a bit time consuming. Here, you can use canned fava beans for a much quicker (but still tasty) version. Fool Medammas is a very poular breakfast dish, served with fresh bread - perfect for Suhor during Ramadan. It also makes a nice light lunch if served with bread & a good salad or you can serve as part of a series of appetizers (like a mezze platter).

SERVES 2 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (15 7/8 ounce) can fava beans
1 cup water
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2-1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil (good quality)
1/3 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/3 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

Directions

1
Rinse & drain the canned fava beans. Place in a saucepan with the water & bring to a boil.
2
Reduce the heat & simmer covered for 10 minutes, then add the garlic & chilli if using & cook a few more miuntes or until the beans are nicely softened.
3
Remove from the heat & drain. Mix the lemon juice & salt in a serving bowl. Add the fava beans along with the parsley & mix well to coat.
4
Drizzle the olive oil over the beans & serve with fresh bread.
