Taameya

Soak the fava beans

Cover the split fava beans with plenty of cold water and soak them overnight until softened.

Blend the mixture

Drain the beans and blend them with the onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, dill, coriander, cumin, salt and pepper into a coarse, sticky paste.

Rest the mixture

Stir in the baking powder and let the mixture rest briefly before shaping.

Shape and coat

Shape the mixture into small flat patties and press each one into the sesame seeds to coat.

Fry until golden

Fry the patties in hot oil in batches until deeply golden and crisp on both sides.

Drain and serve

Drain the taameya on paper towels and serve hot, tucked into bread with salad and tahini sauce.
