Instructions:
-
Soak the dried broad beans in warm water the night before. Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to the soaking water.
-
Peel the onion and garlic and chop into large edibles.
-
Take half of the olive oil in a saucepan and fry the onions and garlic until they turn pink.
-
Grate the carrot and add it to the onions and garlic being roasted. Fry for 4-5 minutes until the color changes.
-
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.
-
Remove the softened outer shells of the pre-boiled broad beans one by one.
-
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.
-
Cover the beans that absorb the water and leave to cool until they are warm.
-
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and pass it through a hand blender.
-
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!

Note: Fava should be prepared with a little water, as it will absorb its water and solidify as it stands.
