- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 clove garlic (1 large or 2 small), crushed
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon olive oil virgin/extra virgin
- 1 dash salt
- 1 dash pepper
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the fava beans and put in a pot of boiling water, covering the beans by a good ½in/1cm or more. Bring to a simmer and simmer for approx 5-8min until gently soft.
- Drain the beans then put in a bowl with the cumin, crushed garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and a little salt and pepper. Mix all together, mashing some of the beans as you go so it forms a kind of spread/dip.
- Serve topped with a little more oil, some parsley, red onion or add some tomato or hard boiled egg, as you prefer. Use as a dip or spread on bread.
