Step 1
Pulse fava beans, onion, parsley, cumin, and 0.5 tsp salt in a food processor until mixture is chunky, not smooth—about 10 pulses.
Step 2
Fold in flour until just combined. If mixture won't hold together, add 1 more tbsp flour. Chill while you heat the pan.
Step 3
Heat 0.25 inch of oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Scoop mixture into 2-tbsp patties, flatten slightly.
Step 4
Fry patties 2-3 minutes per side until deep golden brown and crispy. Work in batches; don't crowd the pan.
Step 5
Whisk tahini with 3 tbsp water and a pinch of salt until it's pourable and creamy. Serve fritters hot with tahini sauce.
