Also, in Santorini, we have something called "Married Fava" to give the dish a little flavor, since it's sometimes bland by itself.
Take the onions from the top of the fava and grill them in a pan with the olive oil. Once the onions are soft, dump the fava on top and the flavors mix together.
Enjoy...
