The Middle East is known for its savory popular breakfast called Ful Madames.
This variation is my way of serving it as a dip, making it a cousin of hummus. It is very
tasty and nutritious.

Ingredients:

• 2 cans of fava beans
• 2 cloves of garlic, mashed
• 6 tablespoons tahini
• 8 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• Salt to taste
• Olive oil for drizzling generously Center Garnish:
• 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
• 1 jalapeno, finely chopped
• ¼ cup parsley, chopped
• Juice of fresh lemon
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Rinse the fava beans with clear water and transfer them to a food processor.
2. Add all the ingredients and blend briefly. Add 2 or 3 ice cubes until desired creaminess is achieved.
3. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, drizzle a generous amount of olive oil, and serve with salad as garnish.
