Hummus Ful - garbanzo beans

Method

• Begin by cooking your garbanzo beans.
• Once they have sat overnight in enough water to cover them, drain and rinse them.
• Return the beans to a large pot, cover with enough water, and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat and simmer for about 45 minutes until they are soft and tender.
• Reserve about one cup of the garbanzo bean water before draining.
• Drain the beans and add them to a food processor, along with the tahini paste, lemon juice, salt, a couple tablespoons of olive oil, and the garlic.
• Puree into a nice smooth paste.
• Add water along the way as you do not want it to be really thick, but have a lighter texture.
• Remove from the processor and plate.
• During this time cook the fava beans in about 1/4 cup of water.
• Add a pinch of cumin, along with the chopped tomatoes.
• Cook for about 25 minutes or until the beans are cooked through and nice and tender.
• When you are ready to serve, ladle some hummus onto a plate, add a couple of tablespoons of the fava beans into the center, and drizzle with additional olive oil, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and shower with chopped parsley.
• Serve with warmed naan bread.
• They say it is the yin and the yang.
• Its hummus done differently, and in my opinion, possibly the perfect way to enjoy hummus.
• The texture is much like you would expect in a hummus, however the addition of fava beans add a flavor and texture that makes this hummus scream.
• The great thing is that is good for you.
• Simple ingredients that are really satisfying.
• Hope you enjoy.
