I'm not giving this a starred review because I subbed butter beans for the fava and I'm not sure if that is what made them mushy. These seemed promising but were bland and mushy to my tastes. I had to add much more flour to make them firm enough to form patties and that made them pasty. I was thinking of trying bulgur but didn't. Anyhow they looked great and we did enjoy them with greek yogurt and fresh diced red peppers and added sea salt. Freddy Cat says hi! Made for the Please Review game.
