Java Bean Salad

I received this recipe from a coworker and wanted to share it with everyone. It is really good and has no meat. So for all you vegetarians this recipe is for you.

1 Can of fava beans – can be found in the international section at Meijer’s

½ lime or lemon – medium size

1 clove of fresh garlic – big size

4 table spoon of olive oil

2 table spoon of Tahini- sesame paste - can be found in the international section at Meijer’s

2 table spoon of roasted cumin powder - can be found in the international section at Meijer’s, not usually sold roasted, so you might want to do that before you use it.

1 fresh tomato cut in small pieces

¼ of fresh green pepper cut in small pieces.

Few branches of fresh parsley cut very small

Salt

Heat the fava beans, mash the can content in a ball, add all the above ingredients and mix. You can have Fava beans salad with pita bread or crackers.
