Foul is a Middle-Eastern vegan breakfast dish of cooked fava beans flavored with lemon juice, garlic and served with olive oil, chopped parsley & tomatoes.
Add the fava beans with their liquid to a large pot. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then add to the pot of fava beans. Warm on medium heat for 10 minutes.
Crush the garlic with a half teaspoon of salt. Juice the lemon.
Add the warmed fava bean and chickpea mixture to a serving bowl. Using the mortar you crushed the garlic with, mash the fava beans and chickpeas until about ½ to ¾ of the mixture is mashed. (based on your personal preference.) Add the crushed garlic, lemon juice, cumin, tahini paste, and salt. Mix to combine.
Add ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper or any hot pepper for a kick. (Optional)
Finely chop the parsley leaves and the tomato and set aside for serving.
Serve the foul with a sprinkle of chopped parsley and tomatoes, and drizzle with olive oil.
