Ful Medames

Method

1. 1

   Warm the beans in their liquid with garlic and cumin, 15 minutes.

2. 2

   Mash roughly — some whole, some cream — and sharpen with lemon.

   💡 Texture is personal but the lemon is structural: ful without acid is wet cement.

3. 3

   Flood with olive oil, top with tomato and parsley, scoop with warm pita.
