Directions

Step #1 Soak the dried black turtle beans in the water for several hrs or overnight.
Step #2 Cook the soaked beans in fresh water to cover for 1 1/2 - 2 hrs until tender.
Step #3 (Cook fresh favas until just tender).

Step #5 The warm beans will readily absorb the flavors.
Step #6 Add plenty of salt & black pepper to taste.
Step #7 Stir in half of the tomatoes & parsley.
Step #8 Taste the ful.
Step #9 It should be lemony & garlicky, not bland.
Step #10 Add more lemon if necessary.
Step #11 Turn the ful into a warm serving bowl & top it with the rest of the tomatoes & parsley & garnish it with lemon wedges & hard-boiled eggs if you like.
Step #12 Serve warm, but can also be served chilled or at about room temp.
