Oh man! Ten stars if that were possible!! I like just regular ful madamas. At first I thought this was probably overkill. However, it absolutely isn't. Even picky DH really liked it. I used two 15-oz. cans of favas. This is one of my absolute favorites of ZWT6.

I used a tin of fava beans and made up a half recipe. Really good and rich - the olives and preserved lemons were a great counterpoint to the rich creaminess of the favas. Thanks for a great recipe!

My roommate in college used to make this all the time. It was always so fresh and yummy; and it still is! Very good with some pita or flatbread and some sliced cucumbers. Thanks for posting!

I made this using a can of fava beans so I didn't have to mess with pods. My husband enjoyed this as a side dish last night. Made for Newest Zaar Tag
