INSTRUCTIONS
A hot vegetarian country-style Arab soup.
Bring the fava beans and water to a boil in a large pot. Cover and
cook over medium heat for an hour and a half, then add the potatoes
and cook for a further 25 minutes.
In the meantime, heat the oil in a frying pan and saute the onions
until they begin to brown. Add the garlic and coriander and stir fry
for 3 minutes. Add the contents of the frying pan with the remaining
ingredients to the fava beans and bring to a boil. Simmer over a
medium heat for 30 minutes. Serve piping hot.
THE FAVA BEANS should be the small Egyptian type about the size of a
pea. They can be found in Middle Eastern stores in the large cities
of North America. Navy beans may be substituted; in fact, though not
traditional, they make an equally delicious soup.
