now apparently fresh ful season, and I have no idea what to do
with these. Do you shell the pods like the chickpeas? Cook them
whole like a giant greenbean? Is there a Westernized name for
ful or similar product that would make a wider recipe search

are very young and tender (no beans showing).      just saw a
couple of recipes on a blog for ful in mezze dishes (like served
with hummus), and also made into falafel.      pinterest has
some lovely dishes; search "fava." here is an unusual, but
delightful, combination: a salad of trout, beets and fresh fava
beans, simply dressed with lemon and olive oil.
