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. *Hanneman > "Shawrbat Hummus wa Fool," FROM THE LANDS OF FIGS AND OLIVES, Habeeb Salloum and James Peters. 1995.
