Creamy Fava Bean Dip Instructions: Remove fava beansĀ from their pod and drop into boiling water for 30 seconds. Drain fava beans from the boiling water and quickly place into a bowl of ice water. Remove the inner beans from their shell (a pain, but worth it - just turn on some music, take a few breaths, and get to work). Add ingredients to a food processor. Blitz until creamy and serve!
