Drain. Combine soaked fava beans, onions, parsley, cilantro, dill, garlic, coriander, salt, cumin, and bicarbonate in a food processor. Pulse to a dough-like consistency. You want your fava beans to be finely pulsed but not necessarily into a puree. Larger bites here and there are encouraged. Shape fava bean mixture into balls, then press them down with the palm of your hands into burger-shaped discs. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Add the falafel discs and bake for 15 minutes, then flip and bake 10 minutes more. Serve in Pita bread with slices of onion, greens, cucumber and tomato.https://archive.janatna.com/
