👨🍳 Instructies
- 1
Prepare the fava beans: Open the cans of fava beans, drain them thoroughly in a colander, and rinse them under cold running water. Set aside to drain further.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Infuse the spices: Heat the niter kibbeh in a medium saucepan or pot over medium-low heat (around 160°C / 320°F). Once melted and shimmering, add the berbere spice blend. Stir constantly and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the spices.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 3
Add beans and mash: Add the drained and rinsed fava beans to the pot with the fragrant berbere and niter kibbeh. Stir well to coat the beans evenly. Using the back of a spoon or a potato masher, gently mash about half of the beans against the side of the pot. This will help create a thicker, creamier stew. If the mixture seems too dry, add the optional water or broth.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Simmer and meld flavors: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Cover the pot partially and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The stew should thicken, and the flavors should meld together. Taste and add salt if needed.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 5
Garnish and serve: Ladle the hot ful into serving bowls. Top generously with the finely diced tomato and minced jalapeño. Serve immediately.
