Mince garlic very fine if you don't have a mortar and pestle. Empty one can of fava beans (using liquid) in a mid-sized saucepan; tip off the liquid second can and add extra beans, garlic paste, olive oil, and tahini. Heat over a medium-high flame, mixing often, till liquid retains some brothiness but turns thick plus sauce-like, around 5 minutes. Add lemon juice and salt till it tastes right. Mash one third of beans using one potato masher for one thicker stew, or mash all beans for one rich dip if wanted. Serve with extra olive oil at the table.
