2 cups dried black turtle beans or 4 -5 cups fresh fava beans
8 cups water
1/4 - 1/2 cup olive oil
4 -5 garlic cloves, pressed
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 lemon, cut into 6 wedges
3 hard-boiled eggs, sliced in wedges (optional)

1
Soak the dried black turtle beans in the water for several hours or overnight.
2
Cook the soaked beans in fresh water to cover for 1 1/2 - 2 hours until tender. (Cook fresh favas until just tender).
3
Drain the cooked beans while they're still hot and toss them with the olive oil, garlic and lemon juice. The warm beans will readily absorb the flavors.
4
Add plenty of salt and black pepper to taste.
5
Stir in half of the tomatoes and parsley.
6
Taste the ful. It should be lemony and garlicky, not bland. Add more lemon if necessary.
7
Turn the ful into a warm serving bowl and top it with the rest of the tomatoes and parsley and garnish it with lemon wedges and hard-boiled eggs if you like.
8
Serve warm, but can also be served chilled or at room temperature.
