This recipe with tahini is quite unique.
If you like classic Ful Medames or stewed fava beans without tahini, you can find that version here.
On medium heat, put small cooking pot with fava beans in it.
Add lemon juice, cumin, salt, garlic, cinnamon, and juices. If you do not have fava bean juices, use 1/2 cup water.
Bring to boil and then let it simmer on low heat for 6-8 minutes. Make sure it does not dry out by adding water if necessary (just enough to keep beans moist and bubbling). Add tablespoon of tahini and let it cook for a minute or two. If it becomes too paste like, add some water to give it a more smooth texture.
Transfer to serving plate. Arrange chopped tomatoes and parsley if you like and then drizzle olive oil. Serve hot with bread.
You can use either peeled or unpeeled fava beans; the peeled version gives us a more smooth texture with the tahini sauce. Both are fine.
