Method

  1. 1 Soak dried fava beans for 12 hours, then peel off the thick outer skin.
  2. 2 Simmer the beans for 30 minutes with a little water until they are tender and the water has almost evaporated.
  3. 3 Mash the beans directly in the pot with a wooden pestle until they are half-crusted and still contain some kernels.
  4. 4 The correct texture for this dish is a mix of finely ground and coarsely ground; grinding everything into a puree would result in a different sauce.
  5. 5 Crush the garlic with salt and mix it with tahini, lime, and roasted cumin.
  6. 6 Mix the garlic sauce into the hot beans, then drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with parsley, tomatoes, and peppers.
