mmmm ... it is my favaourite food.
I would like to know why with olive oil you heat up fava beans ?
Thanks for the delicious and healthy recipe.
Mona, thanks for your visit!
i just like to heat it up with olive oil, to add richness to the taste of the dish. it is delicious and good.
Looks lovely :-) I have been told this dish is popular in Egypt. Is it true? Am moving there next month :-)
wasapninjordan, Fol ranks like number one dish eaten by everyone in Egypt on a daily basis, even before Kushari...because it is affordable, keeps hunger for hours away too! i used to live in egypt, the quality of their fava beans is so so good, but the way they dress it or add to it is not my favorite, so i stick to my own Palestinian recipe with the dressing i have in my recipe...but i hope you can try it for yourself when you go to Cairo, try it at Al Tabiey restaurant at Al Muhandiseen. they have tens of recipes preparing fol, also they have not so bad falafel, although i know the ones in Amman are the best in the middle east!! its good to experiment. enjoy!
Thanks for the tip summer :-)
The wife and I are really looking forward to trying out the cuisine in Cairo :-). Will try out the restaurant you mentioned. Which are is it by the way?
Tell me something else summer, if you don't mind?
Does Fol make you bloated as much as other local Jordanian dishes? :-)
I love Arabic food but i find it makes you bloated so much. is it true? or is it just me?
This dip looks very nice and healthy too..
Hetal, thanks for coming by. yes it is a very healthy recipe and very filling. thanks for coming by.
That sounds delicious! I have had fava beans a few times - they are not easy to get here and I really love them!
jen,i think you can get the dry ones and you can soak them overnight and cook them the next day...i hope you are able to order them online, if not, let me know, i will send you few cans! thanks for coming by and leaving a comment.
Allah ysam7ek 3ala hal aklat il zakyeh! ya3ni i started going to the gym again law ba3mal your food i think bikoon row7ti 3al gym 3al faaaadi :)

Dino, thanks for coming by!! "most" of my recipes are healthy and good, and you can only eat a little bit of it and still look good!! :)
When we get to Jordan, I am looking forward to trying these! Do you know if you can slow cook them in a crockpot?
Simple answer, i think cooking the beans in the crockpot will does wonders to it! what a great idea, i never thought about it before...YES,it should work out great.
Hi! It looks fantastic! Thanks, I will try to make it. Beautiful song! Can you tell me the name of the singer/player? Regards from Brazil!!!!!!!
Hello Mimi,
It is now fresh green fava bean season so i am wondering if you have advice for me as to how to make fol mudammas using the fresh beans (instead of cans or dry)?
thanks
diala
Diala, fresh fava beans or broad beans are only good cooked with olive oil,
فول أخضر بالزيت
Or cooked with meat cubes like a stew and served with rice on the side.
the best ful mudammas is hte dry beans that are pre soaked and then boiled till they are tender.
I guess you can always try to make the fresh fava beans by boiling them and peeling each and every bean out of its shell then mash it and prepare the same recipe i have here for ful mudammas, i have never tried it but you can :) in my opinion, its best to eat fava beans in season cooked not as ful mudammas, too much time peeling and shelling although i am sure they are going to be good any way they are cooked.
Thank you Mimi, please check:

it happened yesterday and we made three different ful dishes, including one with fresh fava beans and one with beans from a can with the mix similar to the one you recommend (the garlic, olive oil, salt and green hot pepper)
Diala, great event, i wish i was there! thanks for sharing the link with me.
