- 2 cloves garlic pressed
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- Juice of one lemon
- 1/2 tsp white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Garnishes: chopped walnuts, smoked paprika or quality olive oil
Instructions
- Place the cooked beans, garlic, salt, lemon juice, and vinegar in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until well-combined.

Notes
* To prepare from dried beans, bring 1 cup of dried beans and 3 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Once boiling, turn the heat down to low, cover, and simmer for 40 to 45 minutes until tender. If your dried beans are already skinless, you are good to go. If not, remove the outer skins and throw the skins away.
Storage Info:
To properly store Easy Fava Bean Dip, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate it. It can stay good in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Freezing is possible, but it may alter the texture slightly. If you choose to freeze it, do so in a freezer-safe container. Leave some space for expansion, and it can last for about 2-3 months. When reheating, allow it to thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then gently heat it in the microwave or on the stove.
