Ta'ami

Instructions

1. Drain the soaked fava beans and discard the skins that come loose.
2. Blend the beans with the onion, garlic, parsley and coriander until you get a coarse paste, without turning it into a smooth purée.
3. Add the cumin, turmeric, salt, pepper and baking powder, then mix.
4. Shape small flat patties about 6 cm in diameter with wet hands.
5. Heat oil for frying to 180 °C and drop in the patties for 4 to 5 minutes, turning them, until well browned.
6. Drain on paper towels.
7. Warm the pitas and open them into pockets.
8. Fill with ta'ami, salad and tahini before serving.
