Fava Beans in Tahini Sauce

A delicious recipe I learned from an Egyptian friend. If you don’t want a strong garlic taste, feel free to cook the garlic with the onion. You can stuff this mixture into a pita, add a dollop of plain yogurt, and enjoy!

Step: 1

Heat olive oil in small to medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook onion in oil until softened.

Step: 2

Stir in the beans and lemon juice. Next, stir in the tahini until mixture is thick. Then, add the garlic, and cook for a few minutes more. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

One of most clear way to pick a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose something different. When you’re cooking pasta, make sure for a simple healthy dish . Made steak? Go for something light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to also make a rice salad.

This also can apply to cooking process . You don’t want to push more often your oven by making to do list three dishes at once in there, or be juggling four pans on the cooking items . But sometimes you can make a dish do double-duty .
