Step 1
Pulse fava beans, parsley, cilantro, flour, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper in a food processor until chunky (not smooth).
Step 2
Divide mixture into 8 patties, roughly 2 inches wide. Chill 5 minutes if time allows (improves structure).
Step 3
Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Pan-fry patties 3 minutes per side without moving until edges turn golden brown and crispy.
Step 5
Whisk tahini with 3 tbsp water, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 clove minced garlic, and salt to taste until pourable.
Step 6
Serve tamiya warm with tahini sauce and warm pita or flatbread.
