Ingredients:

-250g Natural Life Split Fava Beans

-1/2 onion grated

-1 grated carrot

-3-4 cups of water

-1 tbsp vegetable paste (optional)

-Natural Life Salt and pepper

-5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

-Chopped onion for garnish

-Olives or capers for garnish

Instructions:

For the cream:

1) Sauté the onion and carrot with the olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat for about two minutes.

2) Add the split fava beans to the pot, then the water and the vegetable paste.

3) Bring to a boil and stir occasionally until the fava beans begin to congeal and dissolve. As soon as the mixture starts to thicken, lower the heat and add salt and pepper.

4) Stir the fava beans constantly to help dissolve them and prevent them from sticking to the pot. The mixture may become quite thick as it boils.

5) Once the fava beans have a cream-like texture, they are ready. You can blend it until it becomes a smooth mixture or leave it partially coarse.
