Warm beans are mixed with garlic, tomatoes and lemon vinaigrette. Cumin completes the flavor and is a must in all bean dishes. This dish makes a healthy tasty breakfast.

1 cup chick peas
2 medium tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped parsley
3 cloves mashed garlic
1 chopped green onion (optional)
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon allspice
Salt to taste

Directions

Whisk together lemon, oil, cumin, allspice and salt and add to salt.

Hi Andra, for foul mudamas you can use one can of fava beans. Let oil for a couple of minutes (or microwave for 4 minutes). and mash with a fork or potato masher. Add the juice of half a lemon (or whole lemon), 2-3 gloves mashed garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon dried coriander (optional), cayenne pepper to taste, salt and pepper. Mix and adjust flavors to taste. Garnish with chopped parsley and olive oil and serve warm with pita bread.
