Broad Beans- فول أخضر بالزيت

Broad Beans cooked in olive oil:

-One Kilo ( About 2 pounds) Broad Beans OR Fava beans- You may use fresh if they are available in season, I usually cook them with the shell , I just take the ends off and I peel the strings on the sides.  If fresh broad beans are not in season, you may use frozen ones.
