Bessara - Fava Bean Dip

After last week's market, I whipped up some Bessara using the beautiful fava beans from Por Bar Farms. If you like hummus, you'll love this Moroccan bean dip. It's refreshing and perfect for a summer cookout!
















  • 2 cartons fava beans
  • 1 lemon (juice & zest)
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
First, peel the fava beans and remove the waxy covering. Combine the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serve cold with pita chips from Judy's Oasis or tortilla chips from Blaze Gourmet (shown here).
