By Fred

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1 sweet onion, halved and thinly sliced
• 1 1/2 pounds fava bean pods, ends trimmed and strings removed
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/4 cup chopped dill, plus 1 tbsp. for garnish
• Plain whole-milk or Greek-style yogurt

Preparation

Step 1

1. Put oil and onion in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add favas, salt, sugar, and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes.

2. Add 1/4 cup dill, cover, and cook until fava pods are tender and starting to fall apart, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp. dill and serve warm or at room temperature, with yogurt on the side.
