In Crete, fresh broad beans are shelled and eaten as a companion to tsikoudia, the local alcoholic drink.Broad beans ( Amharic: baqella) are one of the most popular legumes in Ethiopia. They are tightly coupled with every aspect of Ethiopian life. They are mainly used as an alternative to peas to prepare a flour called shiro, which is used to make shiro wot (a stew used widely in Ethiopian dishes). During the fasting period in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church tradition called Tsome Filliseta, Tsome arbeå, Tsome Tahsas, and Tsome Hawaria (which are in August, end of February, April, mid-November, beginning of January, and June–July), two uncooked spicy vegetable dishes are made using broad beans. The first is hilibet, a thin, white paste of broad bean flour mixed with pieces of onion, green pepper, garlic, and other spices. The second is siljo, a fermented, sour, spicy thin yellow paste of broad bean flour. Both are served with other stews and injera (a pancake-like bread) during lunch and dinner. In Portugal and Spain a Christmas cake called bolo Rei in Portuguese and roscón de reyes in Spanish (King's cake) is baked with a fava bean inside. Whoever eats the slice containing it, is supposed to buy next year's cake. So how do they taste? The outside shell gets crispy and charred when cooked in a very hot oven. Inside you find the fava beans – the part you eat – which when roasted turn out soft and buttery. The seasonings used in this baked fava beans recipe compliment the flavors and make this a simple, but addictive, vegetarian side dish. Ingredients

Eating fava beans is similar to eating edamame. There’s an outside pod they are cooked in, but you don’t eat the pod, it’s there for flavor and to steam the delicious fava beans inside them. The Greek word fáva (φάβα) does not refer to broad beans, but to the yellow split pea and also to another legume, Lathyrus clymenum. Broad beans are known instead as koukiá ( Greek: κουκιά), and are eaten in a stew combined with artichokes, while they are still fresh in their pods. Dried broad beans are eaten boiled, sometimes combined with garlic sauce ( skordalia). Fava beans ( Portuguese: favas) are widely cultivated in Portugal and are very popular throughout the country. The most popular dish cooked with favas is "favada", a stew with onion and pork—depending on the region of the country the pork may be chorizo, bacon, pork shoulder, ribs or the mixture of many of these. In Alentejo a lot of coriander will be added in the end. Besides favada, fava beans may be served dry and fried as an appetiser.One test-tube study found that treating human lung cells with extracts from fava beans increased their antioxidant activity by up to 62.5% ( 15). Herby- Dried herbs work really well with the flavour of broad beans. Use a couple of teaspoons of your favourite (I love the combination of rosemary and thyme). To get a better coating on your beans, you can grind the herbs down a little using a pestle and mortar.
