fava bean query...
A few years agao I had a fava been dip in an middle eastern restaurant that was
wonderful. I got the impresssion that it was a famous, or at least a characteristic dish. Yet in checking out google, everything I come up with doesn't seem to match my recollection. Could anyone tell me what the dip was, and include a recipe for it as well? I do remember that the fava beans had been made into a smooth paste. Many Thanks, Jonathan |

Dimitri Bissara (Fresh Fava Bean Dip) 2 pounds fresh fava beans, shelled, peeled if large 3 tb fresh lemon juice 5 tb extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 tsp ground cumin 2 tsp minced fresh flat-leaf parsley pita wedges, sliced raw carrots, or crackers for serving Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a boil. Blanch the beans for 2 or 3 minutes. Drain, reserving 3 tablespoons of the cooking liquid. Peel if the beans are large. In a blender or food processor, combine half the beans, the reserved liquid and the lemon juice. (Add more liquid if you prefer a thinner dip.) Process, scraping down the sides with a spatula, until the mixture is fairly smooth. Add the remaining beans and the oil, and process until smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl and stir in the salt and cumin. Sprinkle with the parsley. Serve with pita bread, vegetables, or crackers for dipping. |
