  • 2 tsp turmeric

  • Add the fava beans and increase the heat to medium-high, then add the turmeric, salt, and pepper, and stir well.
  • After 5 minutes, mix in the chopped dill and cook for another 5-8 minutes.
  • Add the butter to the pan and let it melt into the beans.
  • Crack the eggs onto the surface of the beans in different areas and allow them to cook through the heat from the beans. Cook eggs to your desired preference.
