Ingredients
- 1 pound fava bean pods
- 1 cup cooked garbanzo beans
- 4 to 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Radish Salad

- 1 teaspoon fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Salt, to taste
Additional garnish
- Pita or flat bread
- Olives (we used green and black Cerignola on the show)
- Feta cheese
- Sliced cucumbers

- Lemon wedges
Directions
Shuck fava beans from the pods. Cook in boiling, salted water for 5 to 6 minutes, until the inside of the bean is tender. Allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Pop the soft inner flesh from beans into a small bowl.
In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade, combine fava beans, garbanzo beans, garlic, tahini, salt and lemon juice. Pulse a few times. Add olive oil and puree to a smooth paste. (If it is a little dry, add more olive oil.) Adjust seasoning to your taste with more salt or lemon juice.
Serve with warm pita and radish salad and garnish with bright accompaniments.
