Ta'ameya

Method

1. 1

   Grind soaked (raw) favas with herbs, onion, garlic and cumin into a coarse green paste.

   💡 Raw soaked beans, never canned — cooked beans disintegrate in the oil.

2. 2

   Rest the mix 30 minutes; add a pinch of baking soda just before frying.

3. 3

   Shape patties, press sesame onto both faces, fry at 175°C until deep brown.

4. 4

   Stuff into pita with tomatoes and tahini.
