Jump to Recipe

I have a weakness for food that looks inviting and tastes even better, which is why this fava yogurt bean dip caught my attention. This is a satisfying dish to keep in mind whenever dinner deserves a little more attention. Keep this one close for the days when time is short but a good meal still matters.

Ingredients

  • Fava beans
  • 2 Cloves garlic
  • Yogurt
  • Lemon juice
  • Water
  • Cilantro
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Start by seeding the fava beans by removing the pods from the casing.
  2. Boil for 15-20 minutes until tender then immediately drain and immerse in ice cold water to stop the cooking process.
  3. Peel the beans and set aside.
  4. Prepare the sauce which will consist of 1-2 cloves garlic smashed, tahini and yogurt ratio 1:3, lemon juice and some water, salt to taste.
  5. You can make the sauce as thin or as thick as you prefer, I prefer medium. Add chopped cilantro and stir well.
  6. Add the sauce to the fava beans drizzle with lots of olive oil and enjoy with pita bread or the bread of your choice.
  7. Enjoy!
