Ingredients for Traditional Sudanese Fool
For the best authentic flavor, rely on the quality assurance of Morouj legumes:
-
The Pulse: 500g Al-Farasha Broad Beans (Fava beans).
-
The Seasoning: 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp cumin (essential for flavor), ½ tsp black pepper.
-
The Toppings (The Sudanese Secret): 3 tbsp Sudanese sesame oil, 100g crumbled white feta cheese, and a scoop of Al-Farasha Tomato Paste (optional for the sauce base).
-
Fresh Add-ons: 1 finely chopped onion, 1 diced tomato, and fresh arugula (Jarjeer).
-
Bread: Warm Sudanese Aish (pita bread).
Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
-
Boil the Beans: Rinse the soaked Al-Farasha Broad Beans and place them in a deep pot. Cover with plenty of water and simmer until the beans are buttery soft and the skins are tender.
-
The “Mash”: Once cooked, drain most of the water, leaving just enough to keep it moist. Use a wooden spoon or masher to lightly crush the beans into a thick, chunky consistency.
-
Seasoning: Stir in the salt and cumin while the beans are still hot. This allows the spices to penetrate the beans deeply.
-
Assemble the Dish: Pour the beans into a wide serving bowl. This is where the magic happens—drizzle generously with sesame oil and top with the diced onions, tomatoes, and crumbled feta cheese.
-
Serve: Enjoy traditionally by scooping the beans with pieces of fresh bread.
