Soak the dried fava beans in water overnight, then drain and rinse them the next day.
Saute the onion in olive oil for 5 minutes until softened.
For the dried fava bean dish, add the tomato paste and bloom it in the oil for 2 minutes.
Add the fava beans, garlic, and hot water, then close the lid.
Cook the dish over low heat for 45 minutes, stirring only rarely so the beans do not fall apart.
Adjust the salt and rest for 10 minutes, then serve with olive oil.
💡 Tip: Soaking the fava beans overnight keeps the skins from staying tough.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with onion salad and lemon on the side.
