A friend of ours Sam makes this dip, she loves fava beans. Ingredients:
3 lbs fava beans |
1 head garlic, green |
1/2 cup olive oil |
1/2 cup lemon juice |
1/2 cup sesame tahini |
Directions:
1. Shell about three pounds of fava beans. 2. This should leave you with a couple of cups of actual beans. 3. Boil them for about twenty minutes in water and then rapidly cool with cold water. 4. Peel all the larger ones (anything bigger than about 1/2 inch in the longest dimension) by squeezing one end hard and popping the bean out of the skin. 5. Smaller ones can be left whole. 6. Puree in a blender with a head of green garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and sesame tahini. 7. Add salt to taste and serve with bread or crudites. |
