Medammis (fava bean purée)

Instructions

1. Rinse the soaked fava beans, then cook them for 1 hour 30 minutes in unsalted water until very tender.
2. Drain them, keeping a little of the cooking water, then mash them roughly with a fork or pestle.
3. Add a little cooking water to get a soft purée that is not runny.
4. Crush the garlic with the salt and mix it into the purée with the juice of two lemons.
5. Add the cumin, pepper and half of the olive oil, then mix well.
6. Adjust the seasoning and let it rest for 10 minutes.
7. Serve in a deep dish, drizzled with the remaining oil, sprinkled with chopped parsley and thinly sliced onion.
