Preparation

Soak the dried fava beans overnight, drain then cook them in water for 25-30 minutes until very soft, or use already-cooked fava beans to save time.
Drain, keeping a little of the cooking liquid aside, roughly mash the beans with a fork to keep some texture.
Add the crushed garlic, cumin, a drizzle of oil and a little of the reserved cooking liquid to loosen if needed.
Squeeze the lemon juice over it and mix.
Pour into a deep dish, drizzle with extra oil and sprinkle with chili and chopped coriander.
Serve warm with flatbread for dipping, it is the most popular breakfast in Sudan.
