Ta'ameya (Egyptian Falafel)

Step 1
Place fava beans into large bowl and cover with several inches of water. Let soak, 8 hours to overnight. Drain.

Step 2
Combine soaked fava beans, red onion, parsley, cilantro, dill, garlic, coriander, salt, and cumin in a food processor; process to a dough-like consistency.

Step 3
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add sesame seeds; cook, stirring occasionally, until toasted, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large plate.

Step 4
Shape fava bean mixture into about 50 balls. Roll balls in sesame seeds to coat.

Step 5
Fill a large saucepan 1/4 full with oil; heat over medium heat. Fry fava bean balls in batches until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
