Foul moudammas (foul mudammas)

Instructions

1. If using dried fava beans, soak them overnight in cold water, then rinse them.
2. Put the beans in a large pan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil. Skim, then simmer for 1 h 30 to 2 hours, until very tender.
3. If using canned beans, rinse them and simply heat them for 10 minutes in their liquid.
4. Drain the beans, keeping a little of the cooking water.
5. Roughly mash some of the beans with a fork, so the texture is both whole and creamy.
6. Season with crushed garlic, cumin, salt, lemon juice, olive oil and a little cooking water if needed.
7. Garnish with parsley, a drizzle of olive oil and diced tomato, then serve warm with bread.
