There is this green bean dish I had in Spain several years ago and I wanna know what its called?

Question

I think it had olive oil and some spices. It was like a salad of some sort. at this point I am not even sure if it was green beans. it was so long ago! help!

Answer 1

I think it was fava beans with olive oil, it's delicious!

Answer 2

The closest classic Spanish dish that meets that description is from the Basque region. (It would be helpful to know which region or style of restaurant, but I realize this was long ago. Funny how we remember tastes! )  Here are 2 versions of the Basque green bean dish, followed by an Americanized recipe of same.
