Ingredients for 4 people

 

1. 3/4 – 1 cup extra virgin olive oil,
2. 1 medium onion, finely chopped
3. 1 package (½ kilo) real Santorini fava beans, rinsed and drained,
4. water
5. 2 bay leaves
6. salt and freshly ground black pepper, preferably
7. 2-3 tbsp lemon juice
8. olive oil for garnish

 

 

 Recipe

 

 Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large saucepan.

Add the onion and cook until softened, 6-8 minutes.

Pour the beans and stir well for one to two minutes to go everywhere in the oil.

Add enough water to cover the beans by 5 cm. Fill with salt, pepper and bay leaf.

Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat, uncover the pot and cook the beans over very low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, for 1½-2 hours until completely melted.

During cooking, clean the foam from the surface and add water if necessary.

Once the beans drink all the water and look like a puree, remove them from heat.

Withdraw the laurel from the pot.

With a small hand blender mash warm fava adding alternately oil, lemon and milk, as needed to become completely smooth.

Cover the beans with a tea towel and leave to cool and shake for about an hour before serving.

Served warm, cold or at room temperature.
