Instructions

Chop veggies. On Medium-High heat add drained fava beans and 1/2 cup water into a small skillet or sauce pan. Add cumin, and crushed garlic and mash ingredients with a potato masher or the back of a fork and turn your fire to low-medium heat and simmer for two minutes.
Serve in a plate or a bowl, place your choice of toppings ontop. Drizzle some extra virgin olive oil to the top and sprinkle your choice of spice, serve with a hot pita.

Notes

If you like to keep your Foul as a stew, do not mash it and keep it a little on the watery side. If you want some texture, slightly mash by keeping some fava beans whole. The amount of water you add is all in your preference.
When draining fava beans keep the canned juices. If you prefer to use water then disregard canned juice.
Depending on the brand of fava beans some tend to dehydrate faster than others while cooking. If you notice your fava beans drying out, add water or canned juice and rehydrate them.
I would recommend chopping your fresh herbs and veggies ahead of time! Some like to serve it with different fresh herbs, boiled eggs, pickles, olives, and hot pita.
