Ingredients
  • 2 cup dried fava beans
  • 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon tahini
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
Directions
  1. Place the beans in a large bowl with enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Let them soak overnight.
  2. Drain the soaked beans. Remove the outer shell from each fava bean and discard. Place the peeled beans in a large saucepot. Cover with cold water by 2 inches and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer, until the beans are very tender, about 30 minutes.
  3. Drain the beans and place in the bowl of a food processor. Add the remaining ingredients and process until puréed.
