Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 c. Small fava beans, rinsed
- 8 c. Water
- 2 med Potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/4 c. Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 med Onions, diced
- 4 x Cloves garlic, crushed
- 1/4 c. Fresh cilantro leaves, finely minced
- 28 ounce Stewed tomatoes, canned
- 19 ounce Cooked chickpeas, with liquid
- 1 tsp Oregano Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 pch Cayenne pepper, or possibly to taste
Directions
- A warm vegetarian country-style Arab soup.
- Bring the fava beans and water to a boil in a large pot. Cover and cook over medium heat for an hour and a half, then add in the potatoes and cook for a further 25 min.
- In the meantime, heat the oil in a frying pan and saute/fry the onions till they begin to brown. Add in the garlic and coriander and stir fry for 3 min. Add in the contents of the frying pan with the remaining ingredients to the fava beans and bring to a boil. Simmer over a medium heat for 30 min. Serve piping warm.
- THE FAVA BEANS should be the small Egyptian type about the size of a pea. They can be found in Middle Eastern stores in the large cities of North America. Navy beans may be substituted; in fact, though not traditional, they make an equally delicious soup.
