Fava bean flour?
Anyone have any experience making flour from fava beans (horse beans,
fool, etc)? We grow them as a winter cover in garden because they fix
so much nitrogen in the soil. Fresh fava beans are very good but kind
of a hassle to work with b/c each bean has to be individually peeled.
We also end up each year with a bushel or more of dried beans and our
family has taken to locking the door when they see us coming with give
aways bags.
Since I found chickpea flour to be delicious, it got me thinking that
there might be a way to make fava bean flour too. (Or maybe we should
just start growing chickpeas, LOL.)
Any thoughts/experiences appreciated. There is a type of hummus made
from fava that I have in Malta, but I haven't found a good receipe.
