INSTRUCTIONS

The World Of Jewish Cooking, Gil Marks
Ful is the Arabic word for 'fava beans'. This dish is also called salat
lubiya (bean salad). Although fava bean salads, inexpensive and flavorful,
are commonplace throughout the Near East and North Africa, the eggs are a
distinctive Jewish touch. Serve ful as a salad, side dish, or part of a
meze (appetizer assortment).
Soak the beans in water to cover overnight. Drain.
Place the beans in a 4-quart saucepan and add the 3 quarts of water. Bring
to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to medium, stirring occasionally for 30
minutes.
Stir in the oil, salt, and pepper. Add the eggs. Reduce the heat to low and
simmer, stirring occasionally and adding ore water if necessary, until the
beans are very tender,about 2 hours.
Remove the eggs, peel, and chop or quarter.
Add the lemon juice and parsley to the beans, tossing to coat. Divide among
serving bowls and top with the eggs. Serve warm or chilled.
Note: Dried fava beans are available in Middle Eastern and Italian
groceries and in some specialty food stores. Since fava beans are sometimes
hard to find, dried white beans, large dried lima beans, or chickpeas can
be substituted.
  VARIATIONS:
PUL MEDAMES (Sephardic Baked Fava Beans
Cook the beans and eggs, covered, overnight over very lowheat and serve on
Sabbath morning for desayuno (breakfast)). When simmered overnight this
dish becomes a Sabbath stew similar to hamin.
SYRIAN FUL
Add 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper
flakes or a pinch of cayenne.
YEMENITE FUL
Spoon 2 tablespoons tarator bi tahina (sesame seed sauce) over each serving
of beans.
Note: To make tarator bi tahina (yield 1-1/3 cups)
Mix 1 cup tahini, about 1/2 cup water, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 to 2
minced cloves garlic, and about 3.4 teaspoon salt.
