FUL MUDAMMAS

FUL MUDAMMAS

Warning - once you've had this dish you might become addicted to it. Ful Mudammas seems to check all the boxes for a perfect dish.

A longstanding staple in the Arab world, this fava bean dip dates back to biblical times, its main ingredient being indigenous to the Fertile Crescent where this dish originates. The name itself means “Fava beans” in Arabic. 

It's healthy, filling, economical and insanely delicious!

We made ours with a bit of a twist using "dibs", the classic mix of tahini and molasses as a sweet and savory topping to the dip. Not traditional, but delicious!

    Step 1:

    Step 4:

    Add drained fava beans to pan and sauté for 5 minutes. Add salt to taste. Mix well, then turn off heat.

     

    Step 5:

    Use potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon or spatula to roughly crush fava beans to favored consistency. Add a splash of water if you prefer to adjust the consistency.

     

    Step 6:

    To fava bean mixture in pan, stir in half of the roasted cherry tomatoes and ¾ chopped tomato (leave ¼ for garnish) and mix well. Add lemon juice and ¼ cup olive oil and mix well.

    Transfer to a serving plate. Mix 1 tbsp Molasses and 1 tbsp Tahini in a small bowl and drizzle on top.
