Ingredients

  • 2 cups fava beans (cooked or canned, drained)
  • 1 cup fresh parsley
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a food processor, combine the 2 cups fava beans, 1 cup parsley, 1 cup cilantro, 1 chopped onion, and 2 garlic cloves. Pulse until coarsely ground, about 30 seconds.

  2. 2

    Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp ground cumin (if you have it). Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Shape the mixture into 8 small patties, about 2 inches wide. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the patties in batches, without crowding, until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Drain on paper towels and serve hot with tahini sauce or in pita bread.
