I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fava beans turned out mushy. I think I overcooked them.

The yogurt sauce was a bit too runny. I would have preferred it to be thicker.

The fava beans were a bit too al dente for my liking. I would have preferred them to be a bit softer.

This fava bean dish was a delightful mix of flavors and textures. The creamy yogurt sauce complemented the earthy beans perfectly, and the hint of garlic and lemon added a nice brightness. I served it with some grilled pita bread and it was a hit!
