Instructions

Cook fresh or frozen favas in a boiling pot of salted water for 3 mins. Transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water, then peel each one by pinching off the outer skin (the bean should pop right out).

In a food processor, puree the fava beans with olive oil and lemon juice until smooth. Season with salt.  (Recipeā™¦398)
