I love fava beans. We call them broad beans. Have you got a recipe for this?

Usual I use dry beans. For dry beans (Pick any dirt out of the beans and wash under cold to clean. Soak the beans completely submerged in water overnight, then discard the soaking liquid and rinse.

Pressure Cooker: Pour into a pressure cooker. Use 2 cups of water/cup of dry beans. Lock the lid of the pressure into place and increase the heat. Once it starts to whistle, reduce the heat and leave to cook for 30 mins. Remove from heat and allow the pressure to come down naturally for around 10 mins or run under a cold tap for 3 mins, then open.

On the Hob: add a fresh batch of water into a pan and simmer at low heat for between 1-1 ½ or hours until beans are tender. ) put the cooked beans into a blender, put some spice like cumin, coriander and salt. Also add a small piece of garlic and also you can put some tahini. Mash the beans until they have a fine consistency, then put it in the bowl. After it's in the bowl, you can chop up half a tomato (or as much as you like) and add it in. Then to finish it off you can add spices to the top, a squeeze of lemon (or as much as you like also) but most importantly add olive oil or linseed oil.
