I must admit, this recipe comes out not entirely unlike hummus, but it is thoroughly enjoyable.
Fava
Prep Time: 30 minutes (soaking the lentils)
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients:
3 cups yellow lentils
5 cups water
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
Cooking:
Soak the lentils for 30 minutes, then rinse. (This step is not strictly necessary with lentils, but will improve the flavor a bit)
Cover the lentils with 5 cups water, bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer. Skim the foam off with a spoon, and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat, and put the mixture through a blender, mixcing in the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Serve either hot or cold. You can garnish it with chopped onion or capers.
