Middle Eastern Bean Dip (Foul Mudammas) image

My best friend is Syrian and taught me to make this. It is often eaten for breakfast, but I like to make it for dinner. It is vegan and great for fasting periods. If you cannot find fava beans, check a middle eastern market. Add more lemon juice if you like it bitter! Serve with pita bread. It's also great with Kalamata olives, feta cheese, and lemon wedges.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can fava beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), rinsed and drained
1 cup water
½ (6 ounce) can tomato paste
½ cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon tahini
2 teaspoons ground cumin

Steps:

  • Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the onion in the hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the fava beans, garbanzo beans, and water to the onion; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Stir the tomato paste, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, the garlic, tahini, and cumin through the bean mixture; return the mixture to a boil and allow to cook at a boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Pour the mixture into a blender. Hold the lid of the blender in place with a towel and start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the mixture moving before leaving it on to puree to your desired consistency.
