Fava Bean Dip aka Fake Guacamole

From the recipe box The Veg Table by

Introduction

Fava beans have a creamy texture, and when pureed with typical guacamole ingredients, it’s a wonderful local, seasonal, nutrient rich substitute for guacamole.

Ingredients

~ Fava beans
1 tsp. olive oil
~ Garlic, 2 cloves, diced
~ Lime juice
~ Cilantro
~ Salt
~ Pepper
2 Tbsp. plain goat cheese

Steps

  1. Blanche fava beans. Shell beans from the large pod. Peel off the second layer of skin, revealing a tiny, bright green bean.
  2. In a food processor, combine beans, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, lime juice and goat cheese. Add more water if needed to make it creamy.
  3. Serve as a dip, or as filling between grilled corn tortillas.
