I've put off posting this recipe, even though it's one of my favorite go-to meals, for several reasons...beginning with the unusual name. It's actually pronounced fool moodhammus, but that's only something of an improvement!
I also held off sharing this recipe until I found a source for canned fava beans. You can use cooked dried fava beans (readily available at Indian or Middle Eastern markets), but that'll require an extra step, which takes away from how terrific this dish is for a super-quick lunch or a light supper. If you can't find canned fava beans at your local Indian or Middle Eastern market, you can find them online at www.ranis.com.
It's well worth the effort to look past the name, and round up canned fava beans. This recipe is healthy, filling, quick and easy to prepare, and it's absolutely delish in an Arabic or Greek pita. Enjoy!
Foul Mudhammas
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, quartered and thinly sliced
1 (4-ounce) can chopped mild green onions
2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 (14-ounce) cans fava beans, drained
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions:
Heat olive oil in medium saucepan over medium-high hat. Add onion, chiles, garlic, parley, and cumin, and cook, stirring often, for 2 - 3 minutes.

When heated through and at desired consistency, serve in pita bread as sandwiches.
