Fava Beans With Fried Onions
Fava Beans With Fried Onions
6-8 servings
- 1 lb. Dry Fava Beans (without the inner shell, yellow in color).
- 3 table spoon Olive Oil
- 3/4 table spoon Salt
- 1 tea spoon sugar
- 12 Stems Dill
- 1 small and 2 very large Onions
- 6 table spoon Olive oil
- Wash and soak fava beans in cold water over night at least.
- Change water and boil fava beans . Water should be at least 2" above the
beans. When water starts to boil, take away the forming foam with a spoon.
Then add 1 small onion cut up in large pieces , dill stems cut in 1" lengths
(save all the leaves), 3 table - spoon olive oil,salt and sugar. Cook until very, very soft about 3 hours
over low heat. Add hot water if necessary. Let cool a little and put every
thing through a wire sieve or food processor. It should be like a creamed
soup. - Turn back into the pot. Add chopped dill leaves and boil for 2 minutes
stirring. - Pour into a shallow pyrex or similar plate not more than 1 1/2" deep.
Let it cool for several hours. - The day you will serve: Cube fine 2 large onions and fry them in 6 table
spoon of olive oil until they are amber color. Spread over fava. (fried
onions lose crispness and color if left in the fridge over night.) - Serve cold
Easy way: Instead of dry fava beans you can use frozen baby lima
beans. Then you don’t have to soak. Start with the cooking.
