Broad bean hummus
Dried broad beans; 1 cup
Onion; half
Tahini; 2 tablespoons
Lemon Juice; 1 teaspoon
Vinegar; 1 tablespoon
Olive oil; 2 tablespoon
Garlic; 2 cloves, peeled
Salt; to your taste
• Boil the broad beans with half an onion until they are very soft.
• Drain its water and add the garlic, olive oil, tahini, lemon juice and vinegar. Blend it until you have a smooth texture.
• Your hummus is ready. When serving it, you can use the back of a spoon to make a crater and add a generous amount of olive oil, red pepper, parsley and pickles if you like to.
Fava
Dried broad beans; 500 gr
Onions; 2 small, cut in half lengthways
Olive oil 1/3 cups-80 ml
Salt; 1-heaped teaspoon
Sugar; 1 teaspoon
Drinking water; 1.4 litres
To garnish
Dill; 4 sprigs, finely chopped
Crispy onion- if you have at home
Fresh olive oil
• Place in the broad beans and the onions in the pressure cooker.
• Fill with soft drinking water. The water should be 2-3 cm higher than the beans.
• Close the lid and cook until the pressure gets high, cook 5 minutes and open the lid. If you don’t have a pressure cooker, the water you add should be 4 cm above the beans and you’ll need to cook them for about 10-15 minutes until they soften.
• Then add olive oil, sugar, and salt. Use a hand blender to make it silky smooth.
• Take the dish or bowl that you want your fava to take the shape of, pour some olive oil and rub so that the fava would be able to slide once it is cold.
• Place the mixture in the dish. First, allow it to cool at room temperature. Once cool, refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Your fava is now ready to be turned! It will look and taste great.
• This is my go-to substitute when I’m craving cheese or when I need a simple dish that will keep me full, guilt free…. Hope you give it a try and it becomes one of your favourites too.
Easiest Cypriot Broad Beans
Dried broad beans; 1 cup
Drinking water; for boiling
Garlic; 2 cloves, peeled
Olive oil; 3 tablespoons
Vinegar; 3 tablespoons
Lemon juice; a few drops
Salt; to your taste
This is the one of the simplest dishes. But actually this is how Cypriots eat many goodies.
Boil and add olive oil, garlic, lemon juice or/and vinegar to your taste.
• Boil the broad beans with drinking water. Cook for 5-6 minutes after it starts to bubble, until the beans start to soften and taste okay to eat. Boiling time for dried beans can vary, so check its softness.
• Drain the beans and transfer to the serving dish.
• Smash and puree the garlic cloves and add to the beans with vinegar, olive oil, salt, and lemon juice. Give it a mix.
• Eat it as soon as possible. I must say this becomes something else if it sits in the refrigerator overnight. My cousins also love eating this with black or green olives. As I said, these guys are Cypriots and they know about great food!

The blender is the best. In Italian culture we use a lot of legumes and fave bean are our favourite, I like fave with olive oil and roasted garlic serve with sourdough bread. It’s my favourite. Thank you for sharing different recipes with us. God bless
I’m from California. Love Fava beans. I like to get them, whole in pod, oil, and grill on BarBQue, or sauté pan. Eat them out of the pod, like edamame. I usually find them fresh at Farmer’s Markets. Yum. I really don’t have much experience with dried fava beans.
As for the immersion blender, it is one of my all time favorite kitchen gadgets. A “Must Have!” I will be using it today, for a broccoli soup. Used it the other day for a quick smoothie. I will use the attachment for a quickie chopper. I use it all the time!
Thanks for these recipes. I will definitely make each one.

I love the Happy dance and how much you enjoy tasting your creations!
I love you refika❤️❤️❤️
I prefer the dried broad beans . They are harder to find in Australia tho . Favs dip is is a big favourite in our family
Yes we have that electric gadget in Australia… very common! I LOOOOOOOVE Fava beans! Thanks Refika. I'm going to try all of these recipes! I have been watching your videos all day today! 🙂 Kind regards, Mary 😘
We're from Canada and almost every house has an immersion blender
By far the best
love it!!🥰
do you leave the skins on the dry broadband 😊
I love how you say winegar . We say vinegar in the US. So cute! I love your cooking and your beautiful accent!
Hello Rafika, thank you for your wonderful turkish recipes, I love them as I use to live in an area where Turkish restaurants and community was very strong in my childhood. I follow your recipe for Fava which is delicious as taste wise, but that did never become hard in my fridge, it is still soft and like water liquid and I do not know why. I try this recipe twice as I thought I put too much water but it was correct. I don't know what it happen and why.
Greetings from South Africa! The stick blender is a very common appliance here. I use mine often!
Unfortunately, I’ve never seen dried broad beans here, but I bought a huge box of fresh ones yesterday and hope to try your hummus! I made your chickpea hummus a while ago and my mother said it was the best she’d tasted. Thank you!
Love it! Thanks so much! Going to make all 3 with the trimmings. 💚
We have stick blenders here, I live in USA, and I don't know anywhere you can't get one. I have heard some people call them "boat motors".
Thank you so much for sharing your fantastic recipes. Greetings from Puente Alto, Chile.
Wonderful:) greetings from Argentinian expat missing Turkish foood:)
KNOW THAT I AM YOUR FAN👍👍👍
I am from Central Pennsylvania. We use immersion blenders. I have a Kitchen Aid. Love it
Very easy to grow. Great video.
Love the sound of these 3 recipes, I have crispy/salted broad beans (bought as a snack) I might try and soak and grind them, broad bean anything is yummy 😋. Thank you for the stories that go along with the recipes, very interesting, I know very little about that part of the world. God bless, Lynelle (Australia)🤗
Love it, thanks for sharing❤️
Hi, I am from Lima Perú, love your channel!!! On Lima¿s markets that kind of handly blender that you are using is common for small apartments or people that cook little batches, but due to the space, I decided not to hove 2 things or more that do almost the same, so I use very strong blender, big capacity… Oster " Expert " is affordable and works fine for me. I assume most people in this city have a blender, if they have a family of 4 or more is a smart thing to get instead of using a small tool. Hope this answer helps you to develop more recipes for family batches. By the way… here is not too common to find restaurants of Turkish food…(here there is a lot of Chinese, Japanese, of course, Peruvian food… ), thanks to you I am enjoying new flavors , new textures… Wish you could share more about meal preps, and dishes the use less animal produce for the ones that are not vegetarian but would like to eat less of these… thanks in advance…
In Zimbabwe we have hand blenders too
Looks yummy! I was looking for recipes for Fava beans because I want to grow them in my garden.
In Sudan we blend Fava beans with dried okra for another delicious dish
Hey there Refika and Bahar. Great video with lots of interesting history of hammams. Fantastic recipes for the fava beans. You are rocking my world. Yes, for the stick blender. Mine came with a little base with blade and lid so blender can be attached and beans can be put in bottom part and pureed without messing up stick blender.
Today i made this 3 delicious vegan magics. Its so easy and perfect. I only found beans with the peel, so i soaked them over night in water und take away the peal. In my Instantpot i cooked them for 2 Minutes on high pressure, with a quick release. Perfect! Thank you so much for this ! Oups – i forget the sugar in the 1 recipe – but i think its ok for me. 🙂 <3 Greetings from Sverige
how does it get firm after blending??
Hi …can we substitute fava beans with butter beans. will it give same taste?
My mother is from Castellorizo. Her side of her family is from Turkey (Levissi). So many similarities with certain food and recipes and am finding your channel very informative and enjoyable. I have tried to make " Sultan's Delight", and loved it! Look forward to trying more. Thank you.👌
Looks interesting from 🇦🇺 I will try it🎉😊
How long does the fava stay in the refrigerator? It's a lot for me and I would like to store them and not waste them. Thank you.
Um in 🇺🇸 my friend Jim loves Fava beans I do too.
Looks delicious
I will make this❤
Senin her yaptin azimin sulari durmuyo…..❤
Great! Where i live in mexico, the locals grow fava here. They are so easy to grow. Will def try these recipes, so good!
Thank you for the wonderful recipes and cooking demonstration. I love fresh fava beans, sadly they are hard to find.
Hi❤ I want to try all 3 in one go like you did. How much would I need to boil. I have 750g packet of dried broad beans. Also do they need soaking over night Thank you 😊
Incredible 🎉
I made the fava today! First, I can't get over how quickly those giant beans cook, and second, it's delicious. I used only olive oil and salt, but I'm picturing other seasonings, too. Thanks so much!
I’m from the US and the stick blender is easily available.
I love your channel! ❤
My dear can you precise which kind of broad beans these are because they look for me that's being peeled and separated in half I appreciate you so much you are the cutest
Wow!! Will be trying these. All of them.. Not a pressure cooker gal so doing it the long way.
I just love love you and your team. I love that the whole team is invited to comment and jump in and that you are so beautifully in communication with us. It shows that you love this food and that it is good, tasty, healthy food. I also love when you tell a story or a poem or just anything you want to tell us. Thank you from Nicolet, Québec, Canada
What was that narrow necked copper or brass pot ? It's intriguing me endlessly. I saw these large brass pots in hummus kebab shops in Kuwait long long ago and it's stuck in my memory as a child. I keep searching on Google what they mean and what's stored in them and never ever find an answer. In Refika's video saw that she scooped out a Curry from it
Watching from Lake Macquarie NSW Australia. We call it a stick blender. Just discovered your chanel and love it, especially the meat free recipes.
I love green fava beans when in season, fresh and shelled. I also use them in simple salad or for a stew. Thank you.
i love youre videos , and the way that you explain and discribe things ,, thank you for sharing youre expertise and passion, big hugs from the UK
Awesomeness ❤
