Food Ingredients:
1 Ib (16 oz, 450 g) dry Fava beans soaked overnight in water 7 garlic cloves Small bunch of parsley 2 Juice of lemons 3 teaspoons cumin seeds 1/2 cup sliced cherry or regular chopped tomatoes Salt, pepper
Recipe preparation:
1 Smash garlic cloves with a flat part of the knife and remove the outer layers. Chop parsley. 2 In a small skillet toast cumin seeds until you can smell intense aroma. Transfer to a pestle and mortar and grind. 3 Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pot and add the garlic cloves and cumin. Saute one minute and add drained Fava beans. Cover with water, put a lid on and simmer for about an hour or until beans are soft. 4 Drain cooked beans through a sieve reserving the flavorful water. Let them cool down a bit and start shelling them. Make a small cut or tear a small opening on one end of a bean and squeeze the content back into the flavorful water. Throw away the shells. 5 Bring back beans to a boil and using potato masher, mash them slightly. Add parsley, lemon juice and tomatoes and simmer few more minutes until slightly reduced and thick. Stir from time to time. 6 At the end season with salt and pepper and serve with pita bread.
