Ingredients
- 2 cups uncooked fava beans
- 1 cup cooked or canned chickpeas
- 1 heaped tbsp. tahini
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- season to taste
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 1 tsp .dried thyme
- garnish with black sesame seeds garlic and fresh thyme
Instructions
- Into a bowl add your fave beans and cover them with water. The Bob's Red Mill ones don't take long to soak so I only left them in water for 3 hours.
- Once they've soaked, drain them and cook in boiling water for around 25 minutes. Make sure to strain and drain this liquid.
- Into a food processor add all your ingredients and blend for 2-3 minutes or until silky smooth.
- Tip: if you want that extra extra silkiness add 2-3 tbsp. of freezing water to the mixture while blending.
Notes
Will last in a tight sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
