This fresh fava bean dip is made with just 8 ingredients. Simple! I guess you could say it’s a delicious alternative to the chickpea hummus. This fava bean recipe makes a great appetizer with toasted pita bread, or as a spread for wraps and sandwiches!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh fava beans are a treat not to be missed!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever cooked with fresh fava beans (or broad beans) before? They are pesky little things, but their tender, nutty and slightly sweet flavour, is so delicious. Of course, fresh fava beans require patience. You have to shuck them twice, once to remove the thick inedible shell, and then again, after cooking the beans, to peel the outer skin. The skin is edible, so peeling isn\u2019t essential (especially for smaller beans), but it definitely makes this fave bean recipe bright green and improves the taste and texture.<\/p>\n\n\n

Is a fresh fava bean dip worth the effort?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You tell me! Fresh favas, or broad beans, are only available for a short time, so it\u2019s not an effort that you have to, or get to, make that often. Actually I find it quite relaxing to prepare them. Plus this recipe is super simple to make.<\/p>\n\n\n

The season of the fresh fava beans is unfortunately very short and only small quantities are produced in Germany. They can be found at your farmers market from June to the end of August and sometimes well into September. Imports from the Mediterranean countries like Italy, Spain, France are offered a little earlier in the season. So before they are gone, you’ll want to head out to your farmers market to get your hands on them to try this delicious dip. And if you have any older, larger beans this is a good way to use them up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
