- Drain the beans, refill the pot with fresh water, and repeat the boiling process for another 10 minutes. Drain again and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat and sauté the onion and spring onions for 3 minutes.
- Add the fresh tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes, and sauté everything together for another 2 minutes.
- Add the fava beans, dill, salt, pepper, paprika, and water. Stir to combine.
- Simmer over medium-low heat for 50–55 minutes, or until the fava beans are tender. Add more water during cooking if needed.
