Sprouted fava beans soup.
It’s one of my favorite easy dishes and so I wanted to share it with my -loving comrades
In case you don’t know how to get some beans to sprout :
spoiler
Soak your fava beans in water for 24 hours.
Then drain the water, rinse the beans and cover them with wet kitchen paper, towel or cheese cloth.
It’s gonna take 2 or 3 days for the beans to sprout, during which you should rinse the beans twice a day, as well as wash the towel and wring it before covering the beans with it again.
-
Cut an onion and a lemon in half, and add them and the sprouted beans to a pot of boiling water.
-
Add minced garlic, some chopped carrots (optional) and 3 bay leaves.
-
Season with salt, black pepper, cumin and dried coriander.
-
Put the lid partially on and make sure to skim the foam off of the soup. It’s gonna take 20-30 mins to cook.
- Now heat up some oil in a pan and fry 2 table spoons of minced garlic till golden yellow, then add it to the pot once the beans are cooked. Serve it with rice or pita bread.
P.S.: You can use vegan broth instead of water, and you can threw in a couple of small onions as well.
Fake beanis fans are not gonna try this bean soup out. It’s called Fuul Nabit btw (lit. sprouted beans) so don’t just boil some regular fava beans
And it’s soup so add whatever you want, I guess.
Here is a video recipe in Arabic.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Bean soup, or boup if you will
I guess I ate some boup today. We need a sprouted bean emoji, It’d become beanis’s brother, boup.
Btw, some people call sprouted fava beans فول بزلومة, lit. beans with trunks in reference to elephants, which sounds similar in Arabic: فيل feel.
