| It's not strictly hummus - which literally means chickpeas - but this quick, easy and delicious ful nabed dip makes a great alternative. Made with Split Fava Beans with no need to soak, it can be cooked from scratch in 30 to 40 minutes. Best served warm! |
Split dried fava beans make a delicious alternative to chickpeas as the basis for a hummus-like dip, with the great advantage that they don’t need soaking and cook down to a creamy consistency without the need for a food processor. This fava bean hummus can be cooked from scratch in just 30 minutes.
Hodmedod’s fava beans are all grown on British farms, making this hummus lower in food miles too. For an even more British hummus try substituting cold-pressed rapeseed oil for the olive oil and hazelnut paste for tahini.
