Broad Beans- فول أخضر بالزيت




Broad Beans cooked in olive oil:
-One Kilo ( About 2 pounds) Broad Beans OR Fava beans- You may use fresh if they are available in season, I usually cook them with the shell , I just take the ends off and I peel the strings on the sides.  If fresh broad beans are not in season, you may use frozen ones.
-Olive Oil
-Diced Large Onion
-Fresh Cilantro
-Minced Garlic
-Salt and Black pepper to taste
Directions:
-Sauté onions in olive oil
-Add fresh or frozen broad beans and cook until done. Make sure they are firm and not mushy at the end of the cooking processes
-Season with salt and pepper
-Add fresh chopped cilantro and garlic towards the end of the cooking period-It takes around 30-40 minutes to cook this dish.
Serve with fresh lemons on the side and pita bread.
Enjoy!

Sozan, I think you should cook a little bit for yourself...does not matter if you are the only one who will be eating it...treat yourself to something you like, life is too short to deprive yourself from simple pleasures of life :)
