Fava Bean Hummus
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cover the fava beans in cold water and soak overnight.
- Peek the tough, green outer husk of the fava bean off and discard. This is the pain in the neck part.
- Put the shelled beans in a pot, cover with water, and salt with about a teaspoon or so of salt. Bring to a boil, and simmer gently for 15 minutes until the beans are soft and starting to fall apart.
- Place the fava beans and all the ingredients except the olive oil into a food processor, and pulse until well blended.
- While the food processor is running, slowly add the olive oil in a thin stream until you get a smooth, creamy consistency. Add additional olive oil by the teaspoon if 1/4 cup is not enough for you. Taste and correct for seasonings.
- Serve with fresh veggies and pita bread. Keeps for two weeks in the fridge.
