How to Make Fava Bean Cakes With Diced Red Peppers And Yogurt

  1. Combine 1 cup cooked fava beans, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley in a food processor.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley to the food processor.
  3. Process until coarsely chopped and well combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
  4. Heat 2-3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Once hot, scoop 1/4 cup of the bean mixture into the skillet for each cake, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
  7. Carefully remove the cakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  8. Repeat steps 5-7 with the remaining bean mixture.
  9. To serve, spoon a generous amount of plain yogurt over each fava bean cake.
  10. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper and extra fresh parsley.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of Mediterranean flavors!
