Simply - my favourite “summerish” snack!
Fava beans are now in season in Lebanon and we usually enjoy them in many different ways.
You’d often see people here sitting on a chair or doing a picnic in the sun with a bag of green fava beans next to them, peeling the grains and enjoying them raw with a glass of cold drink. Another ways, is to grill them whether by tossing them in a pan, bbq, or under the grill in the oven.

Steps

1

There’s a man near where I live in Lebanon who has his own land and grows different produces. One of them is fava beans. Make sure you buy the freshest fava beans from your local market!
2

Remove the grains from the pods but don’t peel them.
3

Grill them the way you want. We usually toss them in a pan over high heat for around 10-15minutes until the skin is a bit burnt and the grains almost pop out of the skin.
4

Sprinkle some salt and cumin if you like and enjoy as is as a snack or add to your salad!
