Follow these steps to prepare the perfect Foul Medames with Pita Bread:

Preparing the Fava Beans:

1. Rinse the Beans: If using dried fava beans, rinse them thoroughly under cold water and soak them overnight in a large bowl with plenty of water. If using canned beans, skip to step 4.
2. Cook the Beans: Drain the soaked beans and transfer them to a large pot. Cover with fresh water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until the beans are tender. Drain and set aside.
3. Sauté the Aromatics: In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onions become translucent.
4. Add Tomatoes and Spices: Stir in the diced tomato, cumin, coriander, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and release their juices.
5. Combine with Beans: Add the cooked fava beans to the tomato mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
6. Mash and Simmer: Using a potato masher or the back of a spoon, gently mash some of the beans to thicken the mixture. Simmer on low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7. Finish with Fresh Herbs: Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley, cilantro, lemon juice, and the remaining olive oil.

Serving the Dish:

1. Warm the Pita Bread: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and warm the pita bread for about 5 minutes or until soft and pliable.
2. Prepare Accompaniments: Arrange the tahini sauce, feta cheese, sliced eggs, and pickled vegetables in small bowls for easy serving.
3. Plate the Foul Medames: Spoon the Foul Medames onto a large serving platter or individual plates.
4. Serve with Pita and Sides: Place the warm pita bread around the dish and offer the accompaniments on the side. Encourage guests to tear off pieces of pita to scoop up the Foul Medames and toppings.
