Foul Mudammas or Ful Medames (Egyptian Fava Beans) is a creamy, rich, and hearty recipe that's brightened with a generous drizzle of peppery olive oil, fresh vegetables, and herbs. It's a traditional breakfast dish in Egypt and the Levant area of the Middle East, and it's typically served as part of a spread along with fresh vegetables and flatbread.
Crush the garlic in a mortar and pestle with the salt.
Bring the fava beans (with liquid), chickpeas, and water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Turn off heat and use the back of a spoon to mash some of the beans (about ½ cup) against the side of the pot.
Stir in the garlic, lemon juice, cumin, and black pepper.
Transfer the beans to 1 large or 4 small serving dishes; drizzle on the olive oil and arrange the tomato, onion, and parsley on top in a decorative way.
