Ta'ameya (Egyptian Falafel)
  • 2 cups dried split fava beans
  • 1 red onion, quartered
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup fresh dill
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

  1. Place fava beans in large bowl and cover with several inches of water. Let soak, 8 hours to overnight. Drain.
  2. Combine soaked fava beans, red onion, parsley, cilantro, dill, garlic, coriander, salt, and cumin in a food processor; process to a dough-like consistency.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add sesame seeds; cook, stirring occasionally, until toasted, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large plate.
  4. Shape fava bean mixture into balls. Roll in sesame seeds to coat.
