Soak the dried fava beans in hot water for 4 hours.
Pulse the fava beans briefly in a food processor so they stay coarsely cracked.
Mix the cracked wheat, lentils, onion, tomato, garlic, pepper paste, and spices.
Rinse the vine leaves and remove excess salt.
Place filling on the leaves and roll into small dolmas.
Arrange the dolmas in a pot and add hot water and olive oil.
Cook over low heat for 40-45 minutes until tender.
💡 Tip: Soaking the dried fava beans for at least 4 hours keeps the filling from staying hard.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm with garlic yogurt or plain lemon.
