A Green Hummus

1. 1

   Shell the fava beans and check for blemishes.

2. 2

   Boil them in lightly salted water for six to nine minutes, depending on their size.

3. 3

   The longer cooking time is because of the beans age.

4. 4

   Big brutes may take up to ten minutes.

5. 5

   Drain and puree in a food processor with the olive oil, lemon juice, and mint leaves.

6. 6

   I continue to puree, adding more oil if necessary, until I have a smooth pulp the consistency of cake batter.
