Ingredients
- 2 cups Broad Beans
- 1/3 cup Parsley
- Dash Olive Oil
- 3 Lemons
- 4 Garlic Clove
- Sprinking Cumin
Instructions
1
As the preparing time varies depending on the quality and age of the beans, it is good to make them in advance and to reheat them when you are ready to dish up.
2
make the drained beans in a pure portion of unsalted liquid in a large saucepan with the lid on until soft, adding liquid 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 preparing liquid, then mix gently this back into the beans.
6
This is to thicken the gravy.
7
dish up the beans in chowder bowls sprinkled with finely sliced parsley and accompanied by Arab bread.
8
Pass round the dressing items required for everyone to help themselves: a bottle of extra-virgin olive coat, 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
strip hard-boiled eggs—1 per person—to cut up in the dish with the beans.
11
Top the beans with a finely sliced cucumber-and-tomato salad and thinly sliced subtle onions or scallions.
12
Otherwise, pass round a good bunch of scallions and quartered tomatoes and cucumbers cut into sticks.
13
dish up with tahina heavy cream gravy (page 65) or salad (page 67), with pickles and sliced onions soaked in acetic liquid for 30 moments.
14
Another way of serving ful medames is smothered in a garlicky tomato gravy (see page 464).
15
In Syria and Lebanon, they eat ful medames with yogurt or feta cheddar, olives, and small cucumbers.
16
Variations
A authentic way of thickening the gravy is to throw a handful of red lentils (1/4 cup) into the liquid at the start of the preparing.
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.
