Instructions

Steam the fava beans until tender, about 10-12 minutes; drain well and peel if the skins are tough.

Boil the sweet potato cubes in salted water until fork-tender, then drain and mash until smooth.

In a small pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook until translucent and fragrant.

Stir in the Cajun seasoning to bloom the spices in the oil for 30 seconds until aromatic.

Fold the steamed fava beans and mashed sweet potato into the onion mixture. Use a fork to gently crush some of the fava beans into the mash to create a rustic, textured consistency.

Season with sea salt to taste. Serve warm in a shallow bowl, drizzled with a final teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil and a dusting of fresh herbs or crushed toasted seeds for added crunch.
