Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups fresh fava beans, washed
6 cups water
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
2 cups red onions, chopped
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Put the beans in a large pot and cover with the water. Boil until the beans are tender but not mushy. This could take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the freshness of the beans.
  • In a skillet, heat the oil until it is hot (but not smoking) and then saute the onion and garlic. Add the cayenne, cumin and salt. Cook until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the onion and garlic mixture to the beans and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes.
  • Enjoy!
