This is a poor man's soup, to be made when there is not enough money around to buy meat. Flavorful & substantial, the soup is served with generous quantities of day-old bread & is considered to be the entire meal.
1. Cook the fava beans in the water in a covered pan over moderate
heat for abt 1 hr, or until soft. Add more water (1/2 cup) should
liquid evaporate too quickly. Mash the beans coarsely in pan. (This
is not a puree.) 2. Add oil, salt, harissa, & cuminseed & simmer
slowly over low heat for 20 mins. Serve hot with lemon wedges & an extra plate of harissa.
