Ingredients | Instructions |
|---|---|
| Step 1 THE NIGHT BEFORE COOKING: In a large bowl, place the fava beans and fill completely with water. Seal the top of the bowl with cling wrap and place in the refrigerator to let the beans soak overnight (at least 6 hours). |
| Step 2 IN THE MORNING: Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and drain the water. Fill a pot of water and add the beans. Cook beans on medium heat until they are soft and can be crushed between your fingers easily. This can take up to 3 hours. |
| Step 3 Once soft, remove the beans from the water and reserve about 1 cup of the broth from the pot. Add beans to a large bowl along with some of the reserved broth and mash with this type of utensil. Add more reserved broth if needed. |
| Step 4 Once the beans are completely mashed, add the seasonings. I would start with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of cumin and coriander powder. You can always add more depending on your preferred taste. Mix the seasonings into the beans. |
| Step 5 Once the mashed beans are seasoned, scoop into serving bowls and top with tomatoes, onions, feta, washed arugula, and olive oil. Hard boiled eggs are also good with this dish. I recommend serving with pita bread. I used this recipe to make my own! |
