Fool Madamas


This is a popular breakfast and lunch food across the middle east, but especially in egypt. i like to heap it on toast for breakfast or spoon a little into a pita with some tahini for lunch. it's ridiculously easy, and freezes really well if you can't eat it all at once. very versatile, it can be a side dish or a main dish, and if you can get your kids to try it, fool makes a great comfort food.

Steps


Stir all ingredients together in a saucepan.
Bring to a boil , lower heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes , occasionally mashing the beans with the back of a large spoon.
If the fool is being served for lunch , you might want to throw a little cayenne pepper or some diced chiles at this point', it's ready when the texture is somewhere between a soup and a paste - serve hot"]".

Ingredients


fava beans, garbanzo beans, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, garlic cloves
