Week 1:Fava beans- middle eastern pita lunch

The Fava beans cooked up quite nicely. Despite being a bit greenish dry then turned a dark brown when cooked. I also found the large size made them cook a bit unevenly. Some of them were already mush by the time others were soft. I kept them plain and then came up with this delicious lunch

Middle Eastern Fava pitas
1 pita
1/2 cup of cooked Fava beans
1/2 tsp cumin
Juice of half a lemon
2 tbs parsley
2 tbs chopped red onion
Cheese (optional)
Cooked Italian sausage crumbles (optional)

Mix the cumin and lemon juice into the beans and spread on a pita. Top with a generous portion of parsley, chopped onion and cheese or sausage as desired. (I happened to have some leftover sausage and I found just a crumbled added a lot of flavor.) delicious!
