Ingredients

Directions

Drain and skin the soaked fava beans.

Cover with fresh water and cook gently with the garlic and cumin seeds until the beans are tender.

Drain.

Puree the beans.

Stir in enough olive oil and a littel water, to give the puree a soupy consistency.

Season with salt and beat well.

Heat just before serving with a little more olive oil and a sprinkling of thyme.

Serve with Arab bread and a bowl of mixed spices (ground cumin, cayenne and salt).
