Instructions
- Wash the fava bean pods and place them in a large pot. Fill the pot with water until it covers the beans. Place it over high heat and bring it to a boil.
- Lower the heat to medium and cover with a lid. Simmer the beans for about 40 minutes. Take one of the beans out of the pod, peel it and taste it to see if it's tender and cooked.
- Add the vinegar, 1 tsp Persian hogweed and salt to the simmering pot. Cover and cook on medium for another 15 minutes.
- Transfer the beans to a platter and top with the remaining Persian hogweed, dried mint, Aleppo pepper and sumac. Pour some of the vinegar and water mixture over the fava beans if desired.
- To serve, take the beans out of the pod, carefully peel them with your fingers and enjoy.
Notes
- You can find Persian hogweed also known as angelica or golpar in many Persian, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean shops. However, if you can't find it, simply leave it out.
- Store the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- If fresh fava beans aren't available, use frozen or dry fava beans. Keep in mind that the cooking time would vary and it'll be longer for dry beans.
