Instructions:

1. Blanch beans: Boil fava beans in salted water for 2–3 minutes until tender but still bright green. Drain.

2. Sauté garlic: In a skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté 30–60 seconds until fragrant.

3. Cook beans: Add fava beans and sauté 3–4 minutes until lightly golden. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Make tahini drizzle: In a small bowl, mix tahini with lemon juice and a little warm water (1–2 tsp) until smooth and pourable.

5. Combine: Drizzle the tahini sauce over the sautéed beans and toss gently to coat.

6. Serve: Transfer to a plate, drizzle extra olive oil on top, sprinkle parsley, chili flakes, or pomegranate seeds for a pop of flavor and color. Serve warm with fresh pita bread.

Tips:
