If you garden, Fava’s are a must! You can cook them, they make for great dishes, dry them for the soil next year or freeze them to make dip, etc…! Combining rice and beans makes for a great meal with complete amino balance. This was so delicious, the fresh herbs are everything too! Fava’s take a while to prepare but you can get the jarred broad beans if you don’t have access, I noticed our local farmer’s market had them.

You’re going to love this dish! Served with Feras’ Palestine Courgettes and Cast Iron Garlic Sourdough bread. SO GOOD! Enjoy!
