Ingredients

  • 2 cups Broad Beans
  • 1/3 cup Parsley
  • Dash Olive Oil
  • 3 Lemons
  • 4 Garlic Clove
  • Sprinking Cumin

Instructions

1
As the crafting time varies depending on the quality and age of the beans, it is good to burning up them in advance and to reheat them when you are ready to present.
2
burning up the drained beans in a pure portion of unsalted aqua in a large saucepan with the lid on until soft, adding aqua to keep them covered, and seasoning when the beans have softened.
3
They take 2–2 1/2 hours of subtle simmering.
4
When the beans are soft, let the liquid reduce.
5
It is usual to take out a ladle or two of the beans and to mash them with some of the crafting liquid, then swirl around this back into the beans.
6
This is to thicken the coulis.
7
present the beans in chowder bowls sprinkled with finely sliced parsley and accompanied by Arab bread.
8
Pass round the dressing components for everyone to help themselves: a bottle of extra-virgin olive oil, the quartered lemons, seasoning and pepper, a little saucer with the crushed garlic, one with chili-pepper flakes, and one with ground cumin.
9
The beans are eaten gently crushed with the fork, so that they absorb the dressing.
10
Optional Garnishes skin hard-boiled eggs—1 per person—to cut up in the mixing bowl with the beans.
11
Top the beans with a finely sliced cucumber-and-tomato salad and thinly sliced gentle onions or scallions.
12
Otherwise, pass round a good bunch of scallions and quartered tomatoes and cucumbers cut into sticks.
13
present with tahina dairy reduction coulis (page 65) or salad (page 67), with pickles and sliced onions soaked in acidic solution for 30 mins.
14
Another way of serving ful medames is smothered in a garlicky tomato coulis (see page 464).
15
In Syria and Lebanon, they eat ful medames with yogurt or feta dairy topping, olives, and small cucumbers.
16
Variations A authentic way of thickening the coulis is to throw a handful of red lentils (1/4 cup) into the aqua at the start of the crafting.
17
In Iraq, large brown beans are used instead of the small Egyptian ones, in a dish called badkila, which is also sold for breakfast in the street.
