Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Canned fava beans
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Cooked white rice
- 0.5 cup Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 medium Tomatoes, diced (for garnish)
- 4 pieces Flatbread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Rinse and drain the canned fava beans in a colander under cold running water.
In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the fava beans to the saucepan along with the ground cumin, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the beans simmer gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use a fork to slightly mash some of the beans for a creamier texture.
While the beans are simmering, prepare the dill rice. In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion to the pan and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the cooked white rice and fresh chopped dill until the mixture is evenly combined and heated through. Season with a pinch of salt if needed.
To serve, divide the dill rice among four plates or shallow bowls. Spoon the warm fava bean mixture over the rice.
Garnish each plate with slices of green onions and diced tomatoes for a fresh touch. Serve with flatbread on the side, if desired.
