An olive-oil dish that heralds spring, where fresh broad beans are cooked in olive oil with onion and dill. Flavored with lemon, this recipe brings together the fresh taste of tender beans with the freshness of plenty of dill.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the fava beans

12 min

Trim the tips and side strings from the fresh broad beans and chop them, then soak in lemon water to keep them from browning.

2

Sauté the onion

5 min

Heat the olive oil in a pot and sauté the onion until soft.

3

Cook

25 min

Add the drained broad beans, granulated sugar, salt, and hot water, cover, and cook over low heat until the beans soften. Caution: Use little water.

4

Finish with dill and lemon

2 min

Just before removing from heat, add the lemon juice and half of the chopped dill; once cooled, serve with the remaining dill.

Reminder

Important: Trim the tips and the side string of fresh fava beans; the tough string stays in the mouth. After chopping, soak the fava beans in lemon water so they don't darken. Cook with little water and serve at room temperature. Vegan.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If the fava beans aren't young and their pods are tough, you can remove the beans and use only the kernels; as the season progresses the pods toughen, while young fava can be cooked pod and all.

Üzerine hangi sosu önerirsiniz? Malzemeler oda sıcaklığında mı olmalı, buzdolabından çıkar çıkmaz mı kullanılmalı?

Uzun zamandır ilk kez bu kadar rahat bir tarif yaptım. Çocuklar sebzeli olduğunu fark etmeden yediler, bu da ayrı bir başarı. Annemin yıllardır yaptığı tarife çok benziyor, nostaljik oldu.
