Ingredients:

For 5 people
🕐 Preparation: 30 min.      🕐 Cooking: 30 min.
Broad Beans 1.5 Cup
Carbonate 1 Tsp
Water (Hot) 4 Cup
Olive Oil 4 Tbsp
Dry Onion 1 Qty
Carrot 1 Qty
Garlic 2 Clove
Orange Juice (Fresh-squeezed) 1 Half Cup
Dill 1/2 Bunch
Granulated Sugar 1 Tbsp
Salt 1 Tsp (large)

Instructions:

  1. Soak the dried broad beans in warm water the night before. Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to the soaking water.
  2. Peel the onion and garlic and chop into large edibles.
  3. Take half of the olive oil in a saucepan and fry the onions and garlic until they turn pink.
  4. Grate the carrot and add it to the onions and garlic being roasted. Fry for 4-5 minutes until the color changes.
  5. Take the dry beans in a separate pot and pre-boil for 15-20 minutes. Cool the boiled broad beans by running them under cold water.
  6. Remove the softened outer shells of the pre-boiled broad beans one by one.
  7. Put the broad beans in the pot with the roasted ingredients and fry for 5 minutes. Add 4 glasses of hot water and orange juice, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook for about 1/2 hour, until the broad beans are tender.
  8. Cover the beans that absorb the water and leave to cool until they are warm.
  9. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and pass it through a hand blender.
  10. Serve the fava on the serving plate cold, drizzle olive oil and orange juice on it and garnish with finely chopped dill. Enjoy your meal!
