Ingredient Notes

• 1 cup cooked fava beans (or canned, rinsed and drained for convenience) – look for brands without added preservatives.
• 2 tablespoons tahini – a good quality tahini will enhance the flavor, try brands like Soom or Joyva.
• 1 pound lavash bread – you can substitute with whole wheat wrap or pita if needed.
• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes – choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best taste, or substitute with diced cucumbers for a crunchier option.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Lay the lavash bread flat and spread a generous layer of the fava bean mixture down the center.
  2. Sprinkle the diced tomatoes evenly over the mixture, allowing their juices to meld into the fava beans.
  3. Carefully roll the lavash tightly around the filling, start from one end to the other, securing it tightly.
  4. Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces and serve fresh with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Things I’ve Learned

When mashing fava beans, ensure they’re not too watery, or the rolls will fall apart. If you have leftovers, store the rolled wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. They can be easily reheated in a skillet for a crispy texture or enjoyed cold. For make-ahead prep, assemble the rolls but hold off on slicing until serving time to maintain freshness.
