Ingredients
For The Fava:
- 200 grams (1 cup) fava beans (yellow-split-peas)
- 600 ml water or vegetable stock
- 1 small onion skinned
- 1 medium-sized carrot peeled
- 1 bay leaf
- ⅔ teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For Garnish:
- baby capers
- finely sliced red onion
- diced tomatoes (pulp removed)
- lemon halves to squeeze on top
Instructions
- Add the fava beans, water (or stock), onion, carrot, sea salt, and bay leaf to a small cooking pot.
- Simmer over low heat covered without stirring until Fava absorbs almost all of the water (takes about 40 to 50 minutes). Remove the carrot, onion, and bay leaf.
- Mash the Fava either with a spoon or using an immersion blender.
- Mix in the olive oil and lemon juice. If too thick add a small splash of water.
- Garnish with sliced onions, capers, and diced tomatoes.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with some extra squeezed lemon on top if you like and a drop of extra virgin olive oil.
- Store in a food container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat gently with a splash of water on the stovetop.
