Wash the shelled fava beans and soak them in lemon water for 10 minutes so they do not darken.
Cook the diced onion in olive oil over medium heat for 4 minutes, until translucent.
Add the fava beans, salt, sugar, and hot water to the pot.
Cook the dish over low heat for 20 minutes.
After removing from the heat, rest covered for 15 minutes so the beans do not fall apart; serve with dill.
💡 Tip: Use lemon water so the fava beans do not darken; their color stays lighter.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cold with dill sprinkled over the top.
