Taameya

Method

1. 1 Soak dried broad beans for 12 hours, then drain. Absolutely do not cook the beans before grinding.
2. 2 Grind raw beans with parsley, dill, scallions, garlic, and cumin until a dark green paste is formed.
3. 3 The Egyptian version uses broad beans and lots of herbs, so the patty is green, unlike the yellowish-brown patty made with chickpeas.
4. 4 Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, then mix in the baking powder right before shaping.
5. 5 Shape the mixture into flat pieces about 5 cm in diameter, then press one side into roasted sesame seeds.
6. 6 Deep-fry at 170 degrees for 4 minutes until the crust is crispy brown and the inside remains soft and green.

With an appliance

• Air fryer 45 min

  Replace step 6: spray oil on both sides, then steam in a hot air oven at 190 degrees for 14 minutes, flipping at minute 8; the crust will be less crispy, so press into thin 1 cm pieces.
