Fava Split Pea Dip
A smooth Moroccan-style dip of dried split fava beans flavored with garlic, cumin, paprika, lemon, and olive oil.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Rinse the split fava beans thoroughly under cool running water and drain.
-
Step 2
Put the rinsed beans, water, and garlic in the saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, skimming away any foam that rises.
-
Step 3
Reduce to low heat and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the beans are very soft and beginning to collapse.
-
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the cumin, paprika, salt, lemon juice, and olive oil, then blend until smooth and creamy.
-
Step 5
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil. Serve warm or at room temperature.
