Ingredients

2 cups dried fava beans
2 cloves of garlic, peeled
3 tablespoons sesame tahini paste
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (juice from 1/2 large lemon)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground roasted coriander seed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions

1

Cover the fava beans in cold water and soak overnight.
2

Peek the tough, green outer husk of the fava bean off and discard. This is the pain in the neck part.
3

Put the shelled beans in a pot, cover with water, and salt with about a teaspoon or so of salt. Bring to a boil, and simmer gently for 15 minutes until the beans are soft and starting to fall apart.
4

Place the fava beans and all the ingredients except the olive oil into a food processor, and pulse until well blended.
5

While the food processor is running, slowly add the olive oil in a thin stream until you get a smooth, creamy consistency. Add additional olive oil by the teaspoon if 1/4 cup is not enough for you. Taste and correct for seasonings.
6

Serve with fresh veggies and pita bread. Keeps for two weeks in the fridge.
