Molded Fava Bean Puree with Dill

1. 1

   In a medium saucepan, combine the fava beans with the onion, 1/4 cup of olive oil and the water and bring to a boil over high heat.

2. 2

   Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the fava beans are falling apart, about 1 hour; as the beans thicken, toward the end of cooking, stir more frequently to prevent sticking.

3. 3

   Pass the bean mixture through a coarse sieve into a large bowl.

4. 4

   Season with salt and pepper and stir in 1/4 cup of the dill.

5. 5

   Lightly oil a 4-cup souffle dish or bowl and scrape in the fava bean puree; smooth the surface.

6. 6

   Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.

7. 7

   To unmold the bean puree, invert the souffle dish onto a large plate and shake to release the puree.

8. 8

   Drizzle the puree with olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of dill and the scallions.
