1 1/4 pounds fresh fava beans, shelled, or 10 ounces double-peeled frozen fava beans, thawed
1 1/4 cups shelled fresh peas or thawed frozen petite peas (about 7 ounces)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves plus 6 sprigs for garnish

I tried this recipe and it didn't turn out well. The halloumi cheese was too chewy and the fava beans were undercooked.

This was an interesting dish. The halloumi cheese was a bit too salty for my taste, but the fava beans and mint were a nice touch.
