Fool sudani (Sudanese fava beans)

Instructions

1. Drain the soaked beans, rinse them, then cook in unsalted water for 1 hour 30 minutes until they mash easily.
2. Finely chop the onions and garlic, then fry them in the oil over medium heat for 8 minutes until well browned.
3. Add the grated tomatoes, chilli and tomato paste, then simmer for 5 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens.
4. Crush the roasted peanuts in a mortar or blender, without making them too fine, so they keep a little crunch.
5. Add the peanuts, the drained beans and their cooking liquid, the cumin, salt and pepper to the pan, then stir.
6. Simmer for 15 minutes over low heat, adding water if the stew thickens too much: it should stay creamy.
7. Serve piping hot in bowls, topped with sliced red onion and a squeeze of lemon.
