Method

For fresh fava beans, remove them from the pod and remove the second skins. If using frozen fava beans, just remove the second skins. Iranian markets also have frozen fava beans with the second skins already removed.
Heat the oil in a wide skillet until hot. Add the onion, garlic, fava beans, salt, and pepper. Sauté for a few minutes.
