Fava Beans in Tahini Sauce image

A delicious recipe I learned from an Egyptian friend. If you don't want a strong garlic taste, feel free to cook the garlic with the onion. You can stuff this mixture into a pita, add a dollop of plain yogurt, and enjoy!

I found that the tahini sauce was a bit too thick for my taste. I added some water to thin it out.
