A Recipe for
Puree Of Fava Beans
"Americans, more than any other culture on earth, are cookbook cooks; we learn to make our meals not from any oral tradition, but from a text. The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’." |

Drain & skin the soaked fava beans. Cover with fresh water & cook
gently with the garlic & cumin seeds until the beans are tender.
Drain. Puree the beans. Stir in enough olive oil & a littel water,
to give the puree a soupy consistency. Season with salt & beat well.
Heat just before serving with a little more olive oil & a sprinkling
of the za'atar. Serve with Arab bread & a bowl of mixed spices
(ground cumin, cayenne & salt).
Serves: 4
