Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • 2 cans ful
  • 3 cloves garlic (or more depends on your preference)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • ¼ cup minced green or red onion
  • 1 chopped tomato
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tbsp parsley
  • 1 tsp cumin (optional)
  • 1 tbsp tahini (optional for more flavour)

 

Method:

  1. In a medium pot, empty the can of ful and simmer on medium heat. Remove the pot from the stove gently mash the beans to a consistency you desire. The traditional recipe calls for about half-smashed and half-whole beans.
  2. If you choose to incorporate the tahini, stir it into the beans while hot.
  3. Add the salt, cumin, lemon juice and garlic into the beans and stir.
  4. Top the dish off with the chopped tomatoes, onions, and parsley and sprinkle more salt onto the tomato.
  5. Drizzle as much olive oil as you prefer.
  6. Enjoy warm or at room temperature and serve with warm pita bread or simply eat it with a spoon.
