Ingredients & Substitutions
Fava beans are the star here, but if you can't find them, you can use canned chickpeas instead. They offer a similar texture and flavor. Fresh herbs like parsley brighten the dish and add a lovely freshness, so don’t skip those! I also love to sprinkle a bit of smoked paprika on top for an extra layer of flavor if I have it on hand.
Tips & Notes
- •I love drizzling a little extra olive oil on top before serving; it adds such a rich flavor!
- •If you want it creamier, a splash of tahini mixed in right before serving is divine!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne for a bit of a kick.
- •You could also throw in some sautéed spinach for added greens - it's delicious!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. When you’re ready to enjoy again, just reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave. It may thicken up a bit, so feel free to add a splash of water to loosen it.

If you're using dried fava beans, soak them overnight and then cook them in boiling water for about an hour until tender. If you're using canned fava beans, simply drain and rinse them.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the fava beans, minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Stir gently to combine.

Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are heated through and flavors meld.

Using a fork or potato masher, mash about half of the beans to create a creamy texture while leaving some whole for a heartier feel.

Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice.
