Ful is a North African and Middle Eastern dish that is equally flavorful, healthy, and simple to make. When I was in Morocco, I tried Ful and was blown away by it. As a result of my time in Morocco, I decided I had to make my own Ful when I returned and this has certainly become a staple of mine.
It’s a perfect weekday snack, appetizer at a party, and veggie barbecue accompaniment during those warm, but limited summer months. And best of all it’s ethically guilt free insofar as it’s a vegan snack that is quite healthy and nutritious. You can find Fava Beans in the international section of most grocery stores.

Ful Mudammas Recipe: Simple, Flavorful Snack
Ful is a North African and Middle Eastern dish that is equally flavorful, healthy, and simple to make. When I was in Morocco, I tried Ful and was blown away by it. I decided I had to have it in the U.S. when I returned and this has certainly become a staple of mine.

minutesIngredients
2 16oz cans Fava Beans
2 tsp salt
2 tsp pepper
2 tsp cumin (I add a bit more)
1 tsp red pepper flakes (I usually add more)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 lemon (squeezed)
3 tsp olive oil (2 for mixing in the ful and 1 for drizzling on top of the ful)
5 mini cherry tomatoes (garnish)
5 sprigs cilantro (garnish)
Directions
- Pour fava beans with their juice into a small pot and boil them for a few minutes.
- Take the pot off the stove and mash most of the fava beans but leave some unmashed for texture.
- Stir in the garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, red pepper, olive oil, and lemon. Season to taste.
- Transfer to a bowl and garnish with tomatoes, cilantro, and olive oil and enjoy! Your Ful is now ready to eat! I like to eat it slightly warm but it can also be served cold/room temperature.
Notes
- This recipe also keeps well for a few days so you can eat it throughout the week!
- This goes really well with carrots, pita, and chips.
