Fava Bean Hummus

Fava Bean Hummus

Ingredients: 

• 2 cups dried fava beans
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon tahini
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

Place beans in a large bowl with enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Let soak overnight. Drain soaked beans. Remove outer shell from each fava bean and discard. Place peeled beans in a large saucepot. Cover by 2 inches with cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer, until beans are very tender, about 30 minutes. Drain beans and place in the bowl of a food processor.

Add oil, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, oregano and salt and process until puréed.
